Jesus Tells Us that the Resurrection Means that He has the Power and Authority Over Our Lives
Before Jesus’ resurrection from the dead he revealed to the world the meaning and significance of his power of resurrection.

See Scripture Commentary: In John 5:29 Jesus tells us of the resurrection of life and the resurrection of damnation. Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead proved his power over death.
