oRead Acts 1:15-26. 1:18: "all his entrails gushed out."

That's pretty gross.  But twice in the Bible it is recorded as happening: Judas and Jehoram (2 Chr. 21:18-19).  Both were judgments for sin.  So it's not pretty; but when is death ever pretty.  Hospice seeks to bring dignity to death and dying, and they certainly are a help.  But death itself is the ugliest of events, contrary to the God who made us to glorify Him!  May I serve him well with this body of death (Phil. 1:20).  And may I not wait until death to glorify Him.
