intro
lets remebner her:
Lot and his wife lived in Sodom, a place of evil, whcih reprersents the evil of all ther World.
God sends 2 Angels to Sodom with a mission to destory it.
But God also made oppertunity for those who wish to forsake Sodom, Lot and his Family to escape the coming judgment.
Ok Let us stop there for just a oment.
History is repeating itself.
God has sent his His Son into the world, to offer salvation:
But he also sent His Son, to Judge the wicked who would not repent.
The two scenes:
Lots and His family in Sodom with the angels ofering salvation from the coming Judgment.
To Sinners in the world with Jesus offering salvation from the coming judgemnt.
They are in perfect paralell - Which is why Jesus tells us: remner Lots Wife.
Ok Zo what Happend to her?
What a tradgic end, but why did it end this way?
Lets look at Lots wife: Was she in the city?
No, she was outside.
So was she numbered amount the wicked in the city?No.
But did she escape?
No.
And that must make us think hard about why?
This makeds Jesus words all the more imposrynat: Rember Lots Wife.
Because Lots Wife remeinds me, that I can be amoung the righteousous, counted amoung them - and still die the death of the wicked.
What was her great downfall?
What was it about her actions that Jesus wants us to remeber?
That She looked back.
Jesus had already warned:
So what is “looking back” and why is it so dangerious and How can we avoid it?
Looking Back
Toanswer these questions we need to play a bit of a detective game:
What did Lots wife look back too?
She looked back to Sodom - The place God had already warned her he hated and would destroy.
God has already promised that he destory the world.
Next what is ment by the word “look”?
Well it does mean a mere look with the eyes, its to look at something with the heart.
For example:
Is this verse telling us to look at Jesus with our eyes?
no, its telling us to look at him with our hearts in faith - its telling us to set our minds, our devotions, our trust upon Him.
And so in the same way, Lots wife ‘s look, was not a glace with her eyes, its was a look of longing in her heart.
There werer things in Sodom she was going to miss.
The sexualy devency, the immorality, the frrdom to lust after whoever you wanted....
Lots wife, may have been running away from Sodom with her feet, but she was runningtowards it in her mind, her heart and her attitude.
The point is crystal clear: Lots wife loved sodom.
And so in light of her terrible fate, we are told:
Lots wifes love for Sodom, caused her to heart to remain in Sodom.
Jesus tells us:
I want to draw your attention to verse 31
the person on the rooftop and the person in the field.
they, Like lots wife were instantly faced with a decision.
The man on the roof and the man in the field both had things they cared about in the house.
It does not matter what it was.
But Jesus appeared.
and we are commanded:
So their problem was that in order to retrive the things in the house, they would have to take their eyes off jesus and look back.
The tghings in the house are not only materialist, they are simply worldly.
Esteem, reputation, power, authority, influence, persona, status.
They are things like, acahol, drugs, fornication, pornography.
And Yes, excessive materialims is also included, A mans life does not consist of abundance of possesions.
These all add up to worldly attractions that :
1: Have no place being the christian house, life anyway.
2: But, also keep us distraced and acnchored in a world which we are not a part of.
Our affections, should be in Heaven.
