Palm Sunday
We celebrate this the Sunday before Easter to mark Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem. This is Jesus last week of life before His death and resurrection.
We need to take this time to welcome Jesus into our hearts, reflecting on His humility, love and His journey to the cross and resurrection.

SHE DIDN’T TURN INTO SALT JUST BECAUSE SHE LOOKED BACK…
HER BODY LEFT SODOM… BUT HER HEART NEVER DID.

Most people read the story of Lot’s wife in Genesis 19:26 and reduce it to a moment:

“She looked back.”

But when you study it deeper, this wasn’t just a glance…

It was attachment.

The Hebrew word used for “looked back” is נָבַט (nābaṭ) — which doesn’t just mean to glance.

It means to look with regard, longing, consideration… to gaze with attachment.

This wasn’t curiosity.

This was connection.

Her feet were moving forward…

But her heart was still tied to what God was delivering her from.

And this is where it gets convicting:

A lot of people have physically left sin…

But emotionally, mentally, and spiritually…

They’re still in it.

You left the relationship…
But you still crave it.

You left the lifestyle…
But you still entertain it in your mind.

You left the environment…
But your desires are still rooted there.

And God is saying:

Deliverance is not relocation… it’s transformation.

Lot’s wife became a pillar of salt.

Salt in the ancient world was a symbol of preservation.

In other words…

She became stuck in the very thing she refused to let go of.

Let that sink in.

What you won’t release… can preserve you in a place God called you out of.

Jesus even referenced her in Luke 17:32:

“Remember Lot’s wife.”

Why would Jesus say that?

Because this isn’t just a story…

It’s a warning.

You can be walking out of Sodom…

And still be longing for it.

You can be on your way to freedom…

And still be emotionally loyal to bo***ge.

God didn’t destroy her because she turned her head.

He judged what was still anchored in her heart.

This is why Scripture says in Proverbs 4:23:

“Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

Because wherever your heart is…

Your life will follow.

So the real question is not:

“What did you leave?”

The real question is:

“What are you still holding onto?”

Because you cannot step fully into what God has for you…

While still being in love with what He delivered you from.
