Life After Life

I believe in life after life because Jesus Christ 'said so', and I believe Him because He is the only man who 'said so' and backed His 'say so' by dying and rising from the dead. So said His Apostles, who all, but one, died 'standing firm' by what they heard and saw. These got handed down and upheld by and through the teaching office of the Church in an unbroken succession of bishops, patriarchs and popes who gave up worldly pursuits just for the preservation of the Message.
The 'Transfiguration' episode in the Gospel was a glimpse of what can be after this life.
