1. From the Earth to the Moon Or From Heaven to the Earth
The Greatest Journey?
From the Earth
to the Moon Or
From Heaven to the
Earth

2. Going to and Landing on the Moon was
a magnificent journey and achievement
…but its significance pales
in comparison to Jesus’
journey from
Heaven to earth!

3. The PLAN The MAN The PURPOSE
Galatians 4:4,5 is a declaration of this being the Greatest
Journey!
In the passage, there is:
The PLAN
The MAN
The PURPOSE
NASA’s Plan:
Not Foolproof
Site
Planners
Cost
Distance
Risk
Technology

4. God’s Plan was Foolproof!
There was no question about the “site”
Laid out in a flawless fashion – 1 Pet 1:17-20
Distance was no problem- Isa. 59:2/Rom. 5:6
Note the qualifications of the
“planners”- Heb. 1:1
Willing to pay the cost- Jn. 3:16
The “technology” did not prevent
the journey-Gen. 3:15;
Matt. 16:18

5. The Man Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were highly
But how do they compare to the Man,
Jesus (Matt. 1:23)?
His mission was not a risk, it was a
sacrifice (Matt. 16:21)
He knew how the mission would
end.
What did He leave behind?
Hope
Peace
Reconciliation
A family
Freedom Living Water
Armstrong, Aldrin and
Collins were highly
qualified for the journey…
…and their mission yielded
great benefits for mankind,
but what did they
leave behind?

6. The Purpose Why did Jesus make His journey?
“This is, whether we like it or not, is a race.
Everything we do in space ought to be tied
into getting to the moon ahead of the
Russians.”
Why did Jesus make His journey?
To be a ransom (Matt. 20:28)
To minister (Mk. 10:45)
To be a doctor (Lk. 5:31)
To seek out the lost (Lk. 19:10)
To do the will of the Father (Jn. 17:4)
