When Jesus said one can live even if he dies, He meant that whoever believes in Him live forever. Even if he/she dies will rise again at the last day when Jesus come again. Jesus is the resurrection. Our spirit live forever.
Jesus wept because He has feeling too toward the sad atmosphere arround the group of people who mourn for Lazarus the one they loved.

We can live for eternity. There is life after death, for those who are saved. If you are born you will die , but you can be born again.
Jesus wept with all t eother people, to show that he too can feel sorrow.

Jesus meant that a person can have eternal life in the spirit even thou his physical body dies. But to show that Jesus was the Christ he raised Lazarus from the dead. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Thank You Lord Jesus! Amen!

Jesus means living after death in Heaven with him and the Father.
Jesus wept because he was moved by the love the sisters had for their brother. Jesus wanted to show that he is also feeling the same as the other people feel.

Some thoughts: Jesus standing within time at the tomb
Lazarus was a great friend. Jesus had special feelings for him, as any person would have. It was sad to see any person go through the spiritual crushing which a dying person experiences.
Before Jesus resurrected Lazarus, he was in anguish for multiple reasons, one being the sadness/joy which the sisters would feel when their brother would walk from the dark tomb. What sisters would not be sad seeing their brother in swaddling death wrapping. Yet, this is his rebirth, a renewal into a second chance upon earth.
Salvation is of the Lord. Jesus would resurrect Himself after His crucifixion. This he knew standing before Lazarus' tomb. That would be the revelation of the true riches of Israel, the promise of everlasting life revealed. Would people appreciate it, and continue His work as they should? He had prepared them. As a Father sees his children off to school, Jesus was meditating upon the wisdom the apostles would have. Would Lazarus now live wisely, and consider this renewal of life an opportunity to serve Jesus even more actively?
The sight of Lazarus coming from the stone-cold tomb wrapped in tattered rags reminded Jesus of his first appearance as man. He had been with Mary and Joseph in the cave grotto surrounded by domestic creatures in their natural habitat. Smelly, damp, and musky the cave was barren but appreciated by Joseph and Mary. They had appreciated everything in their lives. Now, he too should appreciate all things. Even this sadness of the sisters and their friends should be turned to joy. Jesus appreciated God's wisdom of life and death. Through the reality of one, the other could be seen more vividly. Surely mankind would learn. Surely they would choose to share life.

One [one's soul] can live even if he [one's body] dies.
Jesus knew of his approaching crucifixion, resurrection, and assention. You have to realize that Lazarus friendship was up there with John, Peter, and, of course, Jude [ a relative ]. Jesus cried for two reasons: 1. the necessary sadness of those two days before he arrived and resurrected Lazarus and 2. he was bringing back Lazarus. Lazarus would be on earth for several more years. His soul would not be in heaven to enjoy the realm of Jesus right away. Jesus was quite aware of the dimension of time. However, his humanity would definitely miss any such friend.

Jesus meant that He is the ressurection and life which also means that "to all who believe, there is life after death". Jesus died and rose from the dead which means that He has power over death. The isse here is faith in Jesus, when we have faith in Jesus He will provide life to us in its fulness " John 10 Vs 10". WHY DID JESUS WEEP WHEN HE KNEW HE WOULD RAISE LAZARUS? Jesus wept because the Jews did not believe that He is God who has power over death. Jesus prayed that the will of God should be done. He groaned because He felt compassion and mercy upon the unbelief people among Him. Jesus wanted the glory of God to come.

So when Jesus came,
he found that he had been in the tomb four days already. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem,
about fifteen stadia away. Many of the Jews had joined the
women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
Then when Martha heard
that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Therefore Martha said to
Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have
died. Even now I know
that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you." Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha said to him,
"I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last
day."
Jesus said to her,
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes
in me will still live, even if he dies. Whoever lives and believes in me
will never die. Do you believe this?" She said to him,
"Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God's
Son, he who comes into the world."
When she had said
this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying,
"The Teacher is here, and is calling you."
When she heard this,
she arose quickly, and went to him. Now Jesus had not yet come into
the village, but was in the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews who were with her
in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up
quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb
to weep there." Therefore when Mary came to
where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him,
"Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have
died."
When Jesus therefore
saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the
spirit, and was troubled, and said, "Where have you laid him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
Jesus wept.
The Jews therefore
said, "See how much affection he had for him!" Some of them said,
"Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have
also kept this man from dying?"
