Click here to view listing below for Luk 24:1

EACH of the evangelists bears testimony to the diligence of the women in coming early to the sepulchre. Matthew says, “They came, at the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week.” Luke, “They prepared their spices, and rested on the Sabbath, and came early the next day.” John, “They came the first day of the week when it was yet dark” (Matt. 28:1; Luke 24:1; John 20:1). It is only those who do things diligently and promptly that do things well.

See what the Lord says the Christian is to do diligently.

  1. Unity. “Endeavouring to keep” (Eph. 4:3).
  2. Study. “Study to shew thyself,” &c. (2 Tim. 2:15).
  3. Rest. “Let us labour to enter” (Heb. 4:11).
  4. Calling. “Give diligence to make,” &c. (2 Peter 1:10).
  5. Watchfulness. “Be diligent that ye may be found,” &c. (2 Peter 3:14).
  6. Business. “Not slothful in business” (Rom. 12:11).
  7. Consecration. “Giving all diligence” (2 Peter 1:5).

The italicised words denote that they are one and the same in the Greek.
