Remember Lot's wife

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.
