Hospitality (vv. 2-11). Lot called himself a “servant,” but you do not see him hastening to prepare a meal as Abraham did; nor did he stand by to see what further service he could render. But the arrival of the men of the city at the door for immoral purposes was the climax of the evening. (“Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them” is the niv translation of verse 5.) Lot was willing to sacrifice his two unmarried daughters to the lust of the crowd (Judg. 19), but the angels intervened. What had happened to Lot’s personal values that he would offer his daughters to satisfy the sensual appetites of a mob? (In contrast, Abraham would offer his son to the Lord.)
