Bad day: are you ready?

* Luís Alberto Alves

Some Christian denominations pass a distorted picture of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Posture similar to that of some parents who educate their children to a world without evil, where everything is pink, without any difficulty. Even a hymn of praise with chorus hitting the key that life will only be victories, denying Jesus Christ, for He said we would have afflictions while we were in this world.

The Word of the Lord emphasizes that the "evil" day comes to all. There is no escape. The date is undefined. But we will feel its strong wind blowing in our face. It is the period when we feel rotten, angry and think until we are the worst person on the planet. Imagine you receiving the positive result of an examination where a cancer started to destroy your body? Would you be happy? How would you react?

I remember a friend from childhood, a competent professional in construction, with a full schedule of clients, because of his excellent work. The job ran after him and not the other way around. Suddenly she felt her body tired. Even walking quickly was already tiring. Taken to the doctor in a hurry, a serious illness was discovered in his body. You can not work anymore. He became dependent on his brothers.
