Text: Psalm 110:1-4
OPEN: Does anyone know what happened on the moon 55 years ago? That's right, that was the first time mankind set foot on the Moon. In July of 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the surface of the Moon and they spent over two hours exploring the site. They collected over 47 pounds of lunar material to bring back to Earth.

1st - they had to go through customs. They were required to declare to custom officials the Moon rocks, moon dust and other lunar samples, and then they had to sign a customs form saying that that's what they brought back.
And of course... they ALSO had to present their passports because they had been out of the country for few days. (https://www.space.com/7044-moon-apollo-astronauts-customs.html). Did you realize that US citizens NEED to present their passports in order to get back into the US after leaving the country?
The Passport identifies WHO you are... and WHY you should be here!
Now Psalm 110 is basically Jesus' passport. It identified who He was, and why He came. By the time Jesus was born... Psalm 110 was seen as a Messianic prophecy - a prophecy that declared that God would send a hero change their lives. And Jesus was that hero.
