“The second part of Jesus message is this: now that He has died to set all men and women free from sin and eternal death, we must respond in repentance. To repent means to confess and forsake our sins – to do a U-turn away from our sinful behavior and turn to Jesus in faith.  It means to stop sinning.  It means to willfully choose to live holy lives.”

“Even though we enjoy a blue sky above us and beautiful green surroundings, we are prisoners awaiting execution, slaves to sin.  Our fate will come.  The evidence of our guilt will be our death.  And when we die, we will stand before the Almighty judge in the courtroom of eternal justice. The message of Jesus is that we can be saved from what we deserve:    But God demonstrated His own love for us in this:  while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

“On Christmas Eve, 1968, the Apollo 8 astronauts—Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders—became the first human beings to see the far side of the Moon. The moment was as historic as it was perilous: they had been wrested from Earth’s gravity and hurled into space by the massive, barely tested Saturn V rocket. Although one of their primary tasks was to take pictures of the Moon in search of future landing sites—the first lunar landing would take place just seven months later—many associate their mission with a different photograph, commonly known as Earthrise. "Emerging from the Moon’s far side during their fourth orbit, the astronauts were suddenly transfixed by their vision of Earth, a delicate, gleaming swirl of blue and white, contrasting with the monochromatic, barren lunar horizon. Earth had never appeared so small to human eyes, yet was never more the center of attention. "To mark the event’s significance and its occurrence on Christmas Eve, the crew had decided, after much deliberation, to read the opening words of Genesis: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth . . . ." The reading, and the reverent silence that followed, went out over a live telecast to an estimated one billion viewers, the largest single audience in television history.”
