Genesis 19:1-29: Up, and Don’t Look Back: When Saving the Righteous Requires Seizing Them
Update: 2025-09-07
Description
Genesis 19:1-29: Summary: God will do what is just. Angels visit Sodom. Lot greets them in a similar manner as Abraham. He is a righteous man, but righteous people can be hard to move when once they've settled too long in the world. Lot's environment has infected his judgment. He struggles to discern the angels' purpose and the power at their disposal. He would save them when they would save him. He would offer his daughters to the depraved. Still, even a righteous wretch isn't wretch enough for the wicked. All that's good only intensifies Sodom's lust. Even blinded, they grope to exhaustion to satisfy their thirst for evil. The angels draw him to themselves. They charge him to collect his own. Trial meets his efforts. To be saved, Lot himself has to be seized. The world has a mighty gravity, but the righteous will arise, escape, not stop, and never look back. Therefore, as Jesus taught, remember Lot's wife. To look back is to forfeit life with God. Once the righteous one is removed, the wicked are destroyed. God remembers Abraham, Lot is spared, and justice has been done. Later, the Righteous One will not be spared that all the wicked who believe on Him may be. Up then, and don't look back!
