Brother, I have never thought of it that way, but you may be right. In order to get His disciples to believe He would rise again from the dead, He had to show them God has the power to do such things. He was laying the foundation for they themselves to believe the Gospel before they would be entrusted with taking the Gospel to the rest of the world. AWESOME!
