I can never stand at the bedside in such a case without thinking about how humiliating Satan s tactics are. Death is the ultimate humiliation of mankind. It comes to all in the same way, rich and poor, young and old. When they take their last breath, they all look alike. That is the end result of sin in our world, but praise God, it is not the end for the child of God.
Nothing reveals our inability to direct our lives more than physical and spiritual death.
Whether it is physical death or spiritual death it comes through sin. Both are very humiliating. Humiliation has to do with human pride. Often we become so humiliated with our sin we no longer care. We become dead to the world around us.
