Summary
When astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) last June, they were supposed to return home in eight to ten days. However, the vessel that transported them developed so many problems that it returned to our planet unmanned, leaving them marooned. Now NASA is reporting that the capsule that will bring them home won’t launch until late March 2025 at the earliest. By contrast, Christ traveled from heaven to our fallen planet at Christmas. The way he chose to do so reveals the shocking good news of God’s contradictory love.
