“so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway.” (Gen 19:11)
Sin is a tiresome thing. It wore David out trying to hide his sin with Bathsheba. It wore Samson out fending off the wiles of Delilah. It wore Saul out trying to hold onto power and control.
The people of Sodom were blinded by the angels but before that, sin had already blinded their hearts.
“For you [Laodiceans] say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.” (Rev 3:17)
The Laodiceans believed the world would give them everything they wanted and make them whole, but Jesus saw the true picture of a people worn out, used up, and left destitute by sin.
Sodom thought sin would gratify them, but all it did was wear them out.
