John 11:23-27
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
When faced with death, Martha trusted in the sure hope of life after death - a resurrection to life. Jesus made it clear that He was that hope. Faith in Christ means death will be followed by life again, and we will never die again. But this only is through Jesus the Christ who came into the world to die and be the forerunner of resurrection from the grave - so we have a certain, demonstrated hope of forever!
