Apollo 8 took 68 hours (almost three days) to travel the distance to the Moon. The crew orbited the Moon ten times over the course of twenty hours, during which they made a Christmas Eve television broadcast in which they read the first ten verses from the Book of Genesis.

James A. Lovell Jr., William A. Anders, and Frank Borman.

Genesis 1 King James Version (KJV)

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

²And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

³And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

⁴And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

⁵And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

⁶And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

⁷And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

⁸And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

⁹And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

¹⁰And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Here's a little message that all need to hear.

You an I have sinned against God. We have lied, stolen, used God's name as a cuss word, lusted, coveted, hated and disobeyed our parents. We cannot change our past. Our evil actions are written recorded in God's mind. No wonder He is so angry at us that He often punishes us in many ways. We have broken God's laws, and thus deserve to go to hell.

But, let us remember, God is Love. God sent His Only Begotten Son, the LORD Jesus Christ. He gave Him as a gift to all mankind. How is He a gift? This Gift promises you that He will forgive of what you have done against Him. God is just. Justice may no longer be targeted at us, who sin against God and do evil everyday.
Justice and it's punishment was instead targeted at Christ. Jesus is the most precious person to the Father. Yet the Father risked the Life of His Son. That's why He was so severely punished. He was mocked, hated, beaten, rejected, laughed at, spat on, whipped, His hands were pierced and His feet too. Jesus is the free Gift, that anyone can appeal to, and ask, and they may receive Him. Jesus stood in our place, as a representative of mankind, and said "Forgive them".

Jesus died for all mankind without exception, and that includes you.

He has paid the price, the very big price, that you were not able to pay through your own punishment.

God made the moral law, we broke the law, Jesus paid our fine. Right before Jesus died, He said "It is finished". In other words, our debt is paid.

The Father risked the life of His Precious Son, for you. That's the Good News! All what you need to do is respond to God's appeal, or accept the gift that God is wanting to send you. If you say with your mouth "Jesus is my Lord" and believe in your heart that the God raised Jesus from the dead, then you will be saved. Not only that, but this is a LIFELONG commitment. Make your decision and count the cost. It's not gonna be easy. If you come to Christ, then you must deny everything at His feet, that means even your own life. What I mean is that you must prefer Jesus over everything else, and by a high degree. Only then will He raise you up, on wings like eagles. You shall be freed from the bondage of sin. If you are actively doing something that is wrong and immoral, God commands you that you must turn away from them. Turn away from Satan. You know pretty well that they are wrong. Apologize to God, say you're sorry. He will forgive you because Christ willingly shed His blood for you. You don't deserve forgiveness, it's only because God wants to forgive you.
