Genesis 19:1-22. God rescues.

Rev. Jeremy Klaustermeier, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Warrenton, MO joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 19:1-22.

Abraham intercedes for Sodom to save it if the LORD finds 10 righteous people. This seemed like a reasonable number, but hard hearts lead to their destruction. The whole city was so depraved that they followed their own desires instead of following the ways of the LORD. There must be payment for sin, which is not good for us as our sin is just as dark. Yet, as the LORD mercifully saved Lot and his family, He mercifully takes this wrath on Christ’s cross. “Lord Jesus, as You have made me Your own, send Your Holy Spirit upon us that we live in Your kingdom and serve You in everlasting righteousness, innocence and blessedness. Lord have mercy. Amen”
