Remember Lot’s Wife

People leave lasting impressions. If someone asked you, “Do you remember…?” When a name was inserted, immediately you remember!

“Oh yes! He/she once told me…”

“He/she was the one that…”

Depending on who the person was, they did or said something good or bad, and you’ll probably never forget that for the rest of your life.

Do you remember…Lot’s wife? She was the one that…looked back toward Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19), and turned into a pillar of salt.

Many years later, Jesus taught the disciples of when the kingdom of God would come. He Himself would suffer many things and be rejected by His own people. They would eat and drink, marry, and be given in marriage, all unaware of what was happening.

Jesus reminded them, “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. Remember Lot’s wife (Luke 17:28-32).”

The kingdom of God is here! Let us remember Lot’s wife and not turn back; instead, let us press on toward heaven by being a part of the kingdom of God!
