It does depend (as someone said) on what sorta Jesus we get.

Now MY Jesus might be one coming to on a chaise longue in Lazarus' house in Bethany..
"It worked".

"Apparently" says Joseph. "Now here are two greyhound tickets to Galilee for you and Mary. Lazarus is waiting at the cave to tell her. While she's on there way here, there's some fat dude from 2021 has a few questions.."

"Uhh..first, are you really Barabbas?"

His reply: 'Follow me and you will see"

Along the way, you will see that Pappa (The Father) has an amazing sense of humor! That surprises me the most! Creator inside humor is spectacular! You will also come to see how His Love conquers all suffering, all pain, and even death. Finally, you will come to see that you don't even have to 'wait' to 'go to heaven' to see these things, they are right in front of you all along!

That's not an answer - that's an evasion.

I remember seeing a double blind testing of dowsers detecting bottles of water in an area of sand. Of course they couldn't do it. One dowser got upset because her delusion had been exposed but a bluff old fellow just laughed it off as God having a bit of a joke.

Appeals to God's 'sense of humour' strike me as equally denialist.

Well then, you have received exactly what was due to you. Funny how that works out.

Hilarious - as the browsers will see evasions, like instead of a straight answer we get ''Follow me and you will see" which, translated from theist to English, meaneth 'buy into the Faith, and you will stop asking any questions'.

Yes, they will find that, and the idea expressed by you above, that questioners deserve no better, as amusing as I do. A real hoot.

The op is asking - So, Jesus comes back, say, what would I ask him?
Like with the throngs, if I was up front? OK. I'll play.

BIG smile first, heart bursting, very joyous:

''When I get to the Other Side would you take me right to our Father, please?
You could save time while these other bozos are looking at their Life Review
with their Guides, lamenting at all their screw ups.
Just let's take off and see Dad? Yeah? "

As the tile suggests, it is saying (fsoa) that the resurrection (or something like it) really happened. If so -as you say - a lot of people would have been 'right all along'.
