Both our peoples believe that Jesus rose to be with God the Father in a flesh and bone body. We believe He is resurrected in a spiritual (while physical, yet now perfected) body, as per Paul, and they believe He is still in a natural body. We know from the Exodus that no man may see God's face and live.  Yet, Jesus is the only one who has actually gone up to dwell with God and behold His glory in its fullness in person among men. Jesus must have been resurrected!
