Jesus’ sinless sacrifice at the cross for all of humanity’s sin was the reason he made that giant leap to earth. But when God became man, an extraordinary being determined to come to earth as an ordinary man. On one occasion, Armstrong said he considered himself an ordinary man who was privileged to do some extraordinary things. Neil Armstrong, who took the first steps on the moon, said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”īut as amazing a feat as it was for man to walk on the moon, it could not compare to the “giant leap” that occurred when the Word became flesh and lived among us (John 1:14). You can still watch the YouTube clip where Cronkite takes off his glasses and simply says, “Whew!” It was hard to believe that human beings had landed on the moon. Cronkite was considered “the most trusted man in America.” This man, who was accustomed to speaking to people every night, heard the words of the crew when they touched down on the moon: “The eagle has landed.” And he was speechless. Walter Cronkite was at his news desk covering the landing. Millions of Americans watched the landing on CBS television. “Why, on TV they can make anything look like it happened,” some claimed. The crew consisted of three American astronauts: Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and Neil Armstrong.Įven back then, some folks adamantly refused to believe a man had walked on the moon. July 20 of this year will mark 54 years since the Apollo 11 moon landing. ![]()
