Lot prepared bread without yeast and gave them a meal.
News of the visitors spread through the city. Men of all ages surround Lot’s house. Mob of men demanded the visitors be given to them. Evil men want sex with the angels.

God judged the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He burned them to ashes. He made them an example of what is going to happen to ungodly people. God saved Lot, a man who did what was right. Lot was shocked by the evil conduct of people who didn’t obey God’s laws.
2 Peter 2:6-7
Abraham had pleaded with God. For the sake of 10 believers, God would not destroy the city. Abraham saw there were not even 10. The city was destroyed. God hates sin. The people were eternally separated from God. Let this be a warning to all. Sin separates us from God. God shows mercy. Gives us salvation in Jesus.
