* Luís Alberto Alves
Today the football world is saddened by the tragedy that has occurred with the team from Santa Catarina Chapecoense. In the fall of the plane in Medellín, Colombia, he lost 19 players in one fell swoop, in addition to members of the technical commission and leaders. 22 journalists died in the accident.
In the latest videos displayed on the internet, athletes appear cheerful and relaxed. They would play the first match against Atletico Medellín for the South American Cup and decide the final in Brazil. Joy was the feeling of winning such a coveted title.
Jesus, through the apostle Matthew, warned that it will come on a feast day, just as it was in Noah's day, when many would marry. Perhaps, when they got on that plane, Chapecoense's team did not realize they would be saying goodbye to this life forever.
Sometimes we value our lives too much here on Earth, leaving the abode in eternity behind. Jesus Christ promised us in the Heavens many mansions. Our mistake is to continue looking at earthly things, leaving aside the heavenly, where we will be if we please the Lord.
