He Must: Be Lifted Up (Die), then Rise from the Dead

He must die. And he did.
He just ride from the dead. And he did.
You must be born again. Will you?

Easter message looking at the idea of "must." What makes the death and resurrection of Jesus a must? Was it an obligation? Was it a necessity? Was it a requirement? The answer to each of these is yes. Yes it was an obligation because Jesus committed himself to this plan of redemption. Yes it was a necessity because sin can only be forgiven through the shedding of blood. And yes it was a m requirement to make salvation paddocks for us.
