“There is no greater gift than mobility,” says the ad in the paper. “Outdoor and Now Exclusive FLIGHT/CRUISE/TRAVEL Fold-up, Light Weight Scooters,” are advertised.

Reading that I am asking myself, “What is the greatest gift?” because I notice that different people give different answers to that question.

The question is: “What is the greatest gift?”

What is your answer?

I have seen this message in the Far North of New Zealand.

“But if the watchman sees the word coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.” – Ezekiel 33:6

What do you think the most important question is?

The most important question is:

DID THE LORD JESUS CHRIST RISE FROM THE DEAD OR DID HE NOT RISE FROM THE DEAD?

The Apostle Paul discusses the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ in his first letter to the Corinthians in chapter fifteen.

A. WHAT IF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DID NOT RISE FROM THE GRAVE?

This message can be seen on the road from Kaitaia to Ahipara on the left side.

First Corinthians 5:12-19

• Preaching is useless;
• Faith is useless.
• We are still in our sins.
• Christians misrepresent God.
• Dead Christians are lost.
• Live Christians are to be pitied.

B. WHAT IF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DID RISE FROM THE GRAVE?

• Verses 4ff: He is alive and we can meet him.
• Verse 3: He died for our sins.
• Verse 54: There is no more fear of death
• Verse 22: His resurrection means that we will also be resurrected.
• Verse 57: Through him we can be victorious.
• Verse 58: He has work for us to do.

I have experienced that the Lord Jesus Christ is alive.

What about YOU?

“‘I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.'” – Ezekiel 22:30
