Looking Back
At the crack of dawn the angels urged Lot on: “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.” But he hesitated, so because of the Lord’s compassion for him, the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters. And they brought him out and left him outside the city.
As soon as the angels got them outside, one of them said, “Run for your lives! Don’t look back and don’t stop anywhere on the plain! Run to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”
Our forefathers were unwilling to obey him, but pushed him away, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
