3917 — Shall Never Die

Will you please tell me in your "Question Corner" what Jesus meant by saying, "He that believeth on Me shall never die"?
The passage is found in John 11:25. To understand the text, use the context. Verse 24 reads, "Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day." The response of Jesus was to that remark of Martha's. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on Me, tho he die, yet shall he live [that is, at the last day]; and whosoever liveth and believeth on Me [at the last day] shall never die." He wanted to impress upon her that the resurrection and the life were in Him, and that He was the one who would bring them to life then, and as He had power to bring them to life then, He would have power to bring her brother to life before the last day should come. God's children fall asleep, and will, until death shall be swallowed up in immortality. But while they do, their life is hid with Christ in God, but "when Christ, who is our life, shall appear," then shall they also "appear with Him in glory." See Col. 3:1-4.
