Mark 16:2. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun.
There had already been another rising of the sun that morning, for the Sun of righteousness had risen; and, with his rising, our hopes had risen, and eternal life had come to light. These holy women proved their affection to their Lord by being there so early. Love will not wait; it delights to render its service as speedily as ever it can: "They came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun."
