Dragged Kicking & Screaming to Salvation. Genesis 19
Manage episode 385057396 series 1172739
In Genesis 19, the story of how God judges Sodom and saves Lot... and we aren't sure which is more shocking. The only thing more shocking than God's judgement is His mercy. At least, the destruction of Sodom was just and justified. But, why would God save Lot? He does not appear to be a particularly upstanding person. His moral judgement is suspect. His offer to let his daughters be raped… is unthinkably evil. And we're not even sure that he wants to be saved. In the end, the angels have to drag him out of Sodom… and then, along the way, he’s trying to negotiate so he can keep a little bit of his Sodom lifestyle. What kind of God saves a man like Lot?
Please note: This sermon contains adult themes that are not suitable for children and might be triggering to victims of sexual violence.
