MEDITATION

Genesis 19:12-14

12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—take them out of this place!
13 For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Get up, get out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city!” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.

MEANINGFUL APPLICATION TO LIFE

1. Angelic admonition

a. Lot was urged to take his family out of Sodom.
b. The destruction of Sodom was at hand.

2. Reasons for this judgment against Sodom

a. The outcry against the city had been growing.
b. The LORD had sent His angels to check out the city.
c. Their recent horrid experience had confirmed the decision to destroy the city.

3. Lot spoke urgently to his family members

a. There were “sons-in-law”.
b. There were other daughters besides the two he had offered to the men of Sodom.
c. He believed the word of warning given by the angels.

4. The response of the sons-in-law

They did not agree with Lot’s conclusion. They rejected Lot’s admonition. They were obviously spiritually unable to respond correctly.

经文:创世记 19:12-14

沉思

《创世记 19:12-14》
12 二人对罗得说:“你这里还有什么人吗?无论是女婿,是儿女,和这城中一切属你的人,你都要将他们从这地方带出去。
13 我们要毁灭这地方,因为城内罪恶的声音在耶和华面前甚大,耶和华差我们来,要毁灭这地方。”

14 罗得就出去,告诉娶了他女儿的女婿们说:“你们起来离开这地方,因为耶和华要毁灭这城。”他女婿们却以为他说的是戏言。

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 天使的警戒

a. 他们劝罗得带领家人离开所多玛
b. 所多玛即将被毁灭

2. 所多玛受审判的原因

a. 因为城内罪恶的声音甚大
b. 上帝差天使来探查那城
c. 天使们可怕的经历肯定了他们要毁灭所多玛的决定

3. 罗得急迫地告知家人

a. 当中包括了“女婿们”
b. 除了之前他要献给所多玛人的两个女儿,他还有其他的女儿
c. 罗得相信天使们所给他的警告

4. 女婿们的反应

女婿们并不同意罗得的结论。他们拒绝了罗得的警戒。他们明显的无法在属灵方面作出正确的反应。
