Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 16:2

"And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun was risen." — Mark 16:2 (ASV)

And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came to the sepulcher at the rising of the sun.

We often lose a great blessing by not rising early for devotion.

While the flowers are still wet with dew, it would be well if our souls had the dew of heaven resting upon them.

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 it can: They came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun.
