This episode looks at two different types of “Great Commission” found in the Bible.
The first is found in Genesis 1:28 when Adam and Eve are instructed to be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth.
The second, found in Matthew 28:19-20, along with texts from Acts 1 and Luke 24 instruct Christ’s followers to fill the Earth with followers of Christ.
Both commissions involved those being sent as receiving the blessing of God.
Episode 122 is a post concerning what may be the largest public reading of Scripture ever held. This is a brief retrospective on the special Christmas Eve broadcast held by the astronauts of the crew of Apollo 8, humanity’s first voyagers to the Moon.
The photograph known as Earthrise was taken by the crew of Apollo 8. It shows the remarkable contrast between blue and white ball which we call home with the stark grey desolation of the Moon.
