By claiming to be in His person, the resurrection and the Life, Jesus was taking unto Himself claims of identity, authority, being, and ability that Judaism of his day would ascribe solely to Yahweh. This was one of the many offensive claims which ultimately led to the charge of blasphemy and his death, understood by the Jewish establishment as not only justified by God’s Law (Torah) but a necessity.
