They ascended-then descended.
Our Lord descended first. Now He has ascended back to glory.
They glorified man by accomplishing this great feat.
Our Lord glorified God by accomplishing the great work of redemption.
They picked up samples to bring to earth.
Our Lord picked up samples (us) to bring to glory.
They walked-sinners-on the MOON.
Our Lord walked (the sinless ONE) on the earth.
They were provided with uniforms-$300,000 each.
Our Lord has provided us with ROBES of righteousness. Garments of Salvation. Cost?-no one knows or ever shall. He paid the price in full. Blessed be His Name.
They went to the MOON-knowing not what they would find. Our Lord came to earth, knowing full well what HE would FIND-
"A treasure hid in a field," "A pearl of great price."
Their wives were waiting for them on their return to earth. His BRIDE is waiting for Him from heaven.
On the MOON-they were dependent on men below on earth. On the earth-we are dependent on the MAN in the glory.
It took them four days to reach the MOON.
"In a moment" we shall be "translated" to "the third heaven."
Praise the Lord.
