Why Did Jesus Have To Rise (Part 1)

So why DID Jesus have to rise? (Jn 20:9) Yesterday I had the privilege of preaching (part 1) on that very question here at my home church here in Billings, Montana. If you'd like to listen to it, it's available online here.

Part 2 happens this coming Sunday (these sermons are part of the reason why I haven't been posting much lately - life's been busy the past couple of weeks!). If anyone has any comments, feedback, suggestions please feel free to share; like most aspiring pastors, I need all the input I can get...
