luke 17:32

1

Luke 17:32Teaching on the end

days, Jesus said

‘Remember Lot’s wife.’ ESV

2

When are the end days?

3

Now – we are always in the

end days!

4

Sinful living gets God’s attention!

5

Sodom and Gomorrah got

God’s attention

6

Sodom and Gomorrah

represent the sinful, fallen

world

7

Angels of light (the

gospel) tell Lot and his

family to get out (of sin)

8

Lot hesitates - ‘he lingers’

The angels literally seized Lot and the family and carried

them out of the door to safety

9

There are 3 things we can learn here…

10

Firstly……We are reluctant

to leave the things of this

familiar world, even though we

know it to be bad

11

Secondly……We must

acknowledge thatJesus is the door.

John 10:9

12

Thirdly…...We cannot escape sin under our own steam – we need

God’s intervention

13

The family are saved from

destruction and told to run to the mountains

(God)

14

The rest of the people (great and small) are

blind to the light

15

Lot’s wife cannot believe that God will destroy the

cities

16

Lot’s wife hankers after

the things of the world; she does not let go of her

thinking…..

17

….Meanwhile Lot and the rest of the family head

for the mountains

18

…..whilst Lot’s wife looks back – she has not accepted that Jesus is the

door to God

19

Once we are separated from

the world we are to run the race; to press on…..

20

Hence our scripture of the

year Philippians 3:13-

14

21

We have to run to the mountains

(God) so that we are not destroyed

as well

22

We cannot have a new life in Jesus if

we are looking back to our old one at the same time

23

When judgement comes the only safe place is in

Jesus Christ

24

We are to dispense salt and light, else

we become a monument to our

own thinking

25

Proverbs 14:14The backslider in heart will be filled

with his ways, but a good man will be

satisfied from above. NKJV

26

We need to be forward

sliders

27

Jesus tells us to……..

‘Remember Lot’s wife’
