Paul the apostle writes in 1 Cor. 15:20-23: “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming.”

Jesus is the first human to be raised from the dead (bodily) and never to die again. He is a forerunner of what all saints will experience

Rom. 6:9: “knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.”

Rev. 1:18: "I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”

1 Cor. 15:21-23 “For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming.”

The next ones to be have eternal life in the body is at the resurrection/rapture. Those who have died in Christ are resurrected, those who are living, who are Christ’s will be transformed by the same power that raises the dead.

Jesus, in a human body has all authority. He is the only one in this category. His ministry today, he is at thr ight hand of the Father --He is our mediator, the high priest in human body 1 Tim 2:5 “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.”

Heb. 6.:20: “where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

Heb. 7:17 For He testifies: "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."The Melchizedek priesthood is forever, not like the Levitival order where the priests died and had to be replaced.

Heb. 7:24-25: “But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”
