| In this verse, the Lord Jesus is speaking to Martha, the sister of Lazarus, who had died. Although he had been dead four days, the Lord was going to raise Lazarus from the dead. However, He uses the occasion to teach Martha something that had not been known before. In this verse the Lord Jesus makes one of the early references to His coming to take all His own home to be with Himself in heaven. Martha did not understand this, but later the Lord Jesus plainly told His disciples that He had to go away from them. But then He reminded them that He would come back again. Our verse today tells us that those who believe on the Lord Jesus, and are alive when He comes, will never die. |
