Without the resurrection of Jesus, there is little reason to expect something better after death. Jesus taught extensively about a resurrection to come. He claimed, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Jesus also claimed that God the Father gave Him the authority to raise the dead. He proved his claim by the resurrection of Lazarus.
