In Luke 17:32, Jesus made this very simple statement: "Remember Lot's wife."When we go back and look at the example of Lot's wife in the divine record (Genesis 19:1-26), here is what Jesus is telling us to remember:
Remember Her Privileges
- She was faithfully instructed
- She was a relative to one of God's chosen -- Abraham
- She was warned of danger
Remember Her Fate
- It was merited
- It was sudden
- It was final
Practical Reflections
- Beware of earthly entanglements
- Beware of questioning God's commands
- Beware of disobedience
May our memory of this woman's fate, recorded for time immemorial, be an admonition to trust and obey the word of our God.
