To go for all humanity

'We go for all humanity' declared the astronaut Commander of Artemis 11 yesterday as their rocket launched into space to reach the far side of the moon. Whilst I marvel at the incredible spectacle of power and achievement, I'm left wondering what difference it makes to me where I am today.


I write this on the day before Good Friday. I can't but compare another's declaration of a vastly different journey, that of Jesus, 2000 years ago. His journey to the cross of torture and death for all humanity may not have reached the headlines of the day. Yet Jesus' sacrifice of himself for our sin, his resurrection that we celebrate on Easter Day, evidence his power over sin and death and have changed the lives of millions around the globe over the centuries. And Jesus continues to make a difference in the lives of his followers, right here and now, today. Thanks be to God that he loves all humanity that much. Thanks be to God that he loves me that much!
