For Christians, the resurrection is the belief that Jesus came back to life three days after he died on the cross. The Gospel of Luke (24:1–9) explains how Jesus’ followers found out that he had been resurrected: On the Sunday after Jesus’ death, Jesus’ female followers went to visit his tomb.
How did Jesus return to Heaven?
Jesus, who declared Himself to be God and then proved it by His resurrection, finished His mission on earth.

Jesus promised He wouldn’t abandon His people.
What happened when Jesus came back?

What will happen to unbelievers after the return of Jesus?
Unbelievers will be resurrected and judged at what is referred to as the great white throne judgment; based on their works, they will be assigned to the lake of fire ( Revelation 20:11–15 ). So, the return of Jesus will usher in two different eternities—one with God and one without Him.
