God's Mercy in Lot's Wife

The destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah is a warning that God wants us to carefully remember. Jesus in fact commanded his followers to remember this sobering event. While we can easily focus on the question of why God judged these cities, the real warning is to us as followers of Jesus as we battle our divided harts in a fallen world. Far from showing a distant God shaking his finger at His people, this text is a gift from a loving father to His children who are on a dangerous journey.
