Remember Lot's wife!

Luke 17:32

The Bible doesn't even record the name of Lot's wife. What is there to remember about Lot's wife?

She looked back at the judgment of God on Sodom and she was turned into salt. She had been specifically warned not to look back, but the temptation to look was allowed to take control of her actions and that was the end of Lot's wife.

Jesus clearly states in Luke 17:28 that it will be the same when He returns as it was in the days of Lot.

So here is the message that Lot's wife is screaming at every believer. "Don't look back at the world you are leaving."

Don't look back longingly, affectionately or any other way. Don't look back at all. Keep your eyes on Jesus, not on the destruction of Sodom. We are not called to judge the world or even comment on it. And Lot's wife is ample warning that we should not even look back at it.

No, I don't know anyone who has been punished like Lot's wife was, but I know you can't keep moving forward with the Lord while looking back at Sodom.

Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth, but not like Lot's wife!
