Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.

Welcome back to the Daily Blade. This is our fourth day in a deep dive on John

Chapter 11. And men, we need to talk about this one, emotions. Kyle's talked about this

a lot. I talk about this a lot. And I think most men and even some really smart ones

are way off on how men ought to handle their emotions.

We'll pick it up in verse 28.

And the Bible says this.

When she said this, she went, that's Martha.

Martha went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, the teacher is here and is calling for you.

And when Mary heard it, she rose quickly and she went to him.

Now, Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

And when the Jews who were with her in the house consoling her saw Mary rise quickly and go out,

they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

This is what I told you earlier in the week. This would be like the crowd of people that would go and mourn with the person who had lost

somebody they love.

Verse 32.

Now, when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet.

All right?

This was not a polite bow.

She falls down on her feet.

She falls off of her feet onto her face at the feet of Jesus.

And she says to him, it's more like she cries out to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
