Affliction comes to everyone on this earth.
Ever since humanity turned away from God in the Garden of Eden, tribulation and pain have befallen it, affecting each individual regardless of their characteristics and peculiarities: earthly life brings pain and anguish because human beings live on a land upon which, through sin, they themselves brought God's curse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since that tragedy\u2014the greatest in human history\u2014occurred, a river of tears and blood has flowed across the land.
It was sin that brought all misfortune to humanity, beginning with the greatest of them all: the inability to reconcile with God through one's own strength: the path to God no longer exists in a way that man can travel on his own.
The natural destiny of humankind is condemnation, God's punishment, both in earthly life and in eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curse that has fallen upon the earth also ensures that anguish spares no one's home, not even that of a Christian!
We are subject to all kinds of problems, from financial ones to relationship issues, and we can even be victims of violence!
No one is free from suffering for being a Christian: pain and afflictions can manifest in the life of a Christian in the same way they occur in the life of any other person, but there are those who do not accept or understand why a Christian\u2014accepted, by adoption, as a child of God\u2014suffers indiscriminately, experiencing worries, disappointments, illnesses\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And why does this happen?
Because, as God made clear right after the fall, sin cursed the earth and reached every human being who, since then, carries sin within themselves and suffers the consequences of it\u2026 and Christians are no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Then he turned to the man and commanded:
\u201c"Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' cursed is the ground because of you!"
"Through suffering you will obtain your food from the soil, all the days of your life.".<\/p>\n(Genesis 3:17 \u2013 KJA)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But what to think? How to face this sad reality of earthly life?
It often seems that God, whom the Bible calls love (see 1\u02e2\u1d57 John 4:8<\/mark><\/strong>He is cold and distant, ignoring the distress of his children, which seems never-ending.
But that is not true, and here is a passage we can highlight to show God's concern and care for each of his children:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

But Zion says:
The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.
Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
But even if she were to forget about him, nevertheless I will not forget you.<\/span>.<\/p>\n(Isaiah 49:14-15 \u2013 ACF)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This final part is what truly captures attention and comforts, where God states that it is easier for a mother to abandon a newborn child than for Him to abandon His people, or any of His children.
And this is not just empty talk or something that God did not prove to be true: God himself, in the person of his beloved Son, Jesus Christ, knew pain, suffering, and deprivation.
Isaiah already spoke about the suffering servant, who was a man of sorrows and knew what it is to suffer (see Isaiah 53:3<\/mark><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And his suffering wasn't limited to Friday, when he was crucified: He lived a humble life, as few have lived, including the fact that there was no one to host his earthly parents on the night of his birth!
He was born in a stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes, placed in a manger, grew up in a humble family, and in adulthood preached outdoors, traveling from town to town without a place to lay his head, that is, without even the security of a fixed home (see Matthew 8:20<\/mark><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to embrace this life, let's see what He gave up.
The Bible says that he simply emptied himself of heavenly glory, making himself a servant, obedient unto death on a cross (according to Philippians 2:5-8<\/mark><\/strong>).
He set aside his glory for years and years and lived as few could bear to live in this world.
And in the end, he was even subjected to the pain and death of crucifixion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And why all this?
To save everyone, to provide forgiveness and reconciliation with God, which were impossible for us on our own.
He loved those who did not deserve to be loved and saved those who did not deserve salvation.
And He paid a very high price\u2026 an incalculable one: His divine blood.
Therefore, understand that He comprehends very well what it is to suffer, not only by observing, but by having felt in His body and soul what suffering is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He knows the pain and longings of each person's heart.
Therefore, even amidst pain and sorrow, let us stand firm, for He knows that we have afflictions in our earthly life, for He also felt them, but He overcame them all, He overcame the world, and I highlight the following passage as the basis for this reflection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I have warned you about these things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble; but have faith and courage!
I conquered the world.<\/p>\n(John 16:33 \u2013 KJA)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Let us be strong and courageous, even in the midst of pain, for we have a God who is with us and understands us, for He Himself felt the pain we feel, and He did so out of love for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The perception that evil is looming large over the world and inflicting suffering on Christians is not illusory!
It's just another one. indication<\/a> That the end times are rapidly approaching, and before the Lord returns like a thief in the night, the prophesied reign of the Antichrist must be consolidated not only in Brazil, but throughout the world!
In the 2023 phase of "The Worst Gospel," I decided to use new formats in the hope of helping to increase the reach of content related to the Scriptures\u2014stories, videos, shorter texts, guest authors\u2026\u2014and this publication, which I took the liberty of revising and illustrating, is part of that project.
Thank you for reading this far.
I still need all the help I can get: comments, shares, and reactions help spread this content, which was entirely produced with the intention of contributing to the edification of the Body of Christ in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

A afli\u00e7\u00e3o chega a todos nesta terra.Desde que a humanidade se afastou de Deus, ainda no jardim do \u00c9den, sobre ela recaiu a tribula\u00e7\u00e3o e a dor, alcan\u00e7ando cada indiv\u00edduo independentemente de quais sejam suas caracter\u00edsticas e peculiaridades: a vida terrena traz dores e ang\u00fastias porque o ser humano vive em uma terra sobre a qual, atrav\u00e9s do pecado, ele pr\u00f3prio trouxe a maldi\u00e7\u00e3o de Deus. Desde que essa trag\u00e9dia \u2014 que foi a maior da humanidade \u2014 aconteceu, um rio de l\u00e1grimas e sangue corre pela terra.Foi o pecado que trouxe toda a desgra\u00e7a para a humanidade, a come\u00e7ar pela maior delas: a incapacidade de reconcilia\u00e7\u00e3o com Deus pelas pr\u00f3prias for\u00e7as: o caminho at\u00e9 Deus n\u00e3o existe mais de uma forma que o pr\u00f3prio homem possa percorrer.O destino natural do ser humano \u00e9 a condena\u00e7\u00e3o, o castigo de Deus, tanto na vida terrena quanto na eternidade. A maldi\u00e7\u00e3o que caiu sobre a terra faz tamb\u00e9m com que a ang\u00fastia n\u00e3o poupe o lar de ningu\u00e9m, nem mesmo o do crist\u00e3o!Estamos sujeitos a problemas de todo tipo, desde os financeiros, passando pelos de relacionamento e podemos at\u00e9 mesmo, tamb\u00e9m ser v\u00edtimas da viol\u00eancia!Ningu\u00e9m est\u00e1 livre do sofrimento por ser crist\u00e3o: as dores e afli\u00e7\u00f5es podem manifestar-se na vida de um crist\u00e3o da mesma forma que ocorre na vida de qualquer outra pessoa, mas h\u00e1 quem n\u00e3o aceite nem consiga entender o porqu\u00ea do crist\u00e3o \u2014 aceito, por ado\u00e7\u00e3o, como um filho de Deus \u2014 sofrer indistintamente, passando por preocupa\u00e7\u00f5es, decep\u00e7\u00f5es, doen\u00e7as\u2026 E por que isso acontece?Porque, como Deus deixou claro logo ap\u00f3s a queda, o pecado amaldi\u00e7oou a terra e alcan\u00e7ou cada ser humano que, desde ent\u00e3o, carrega o pecado em si e sofre as consequ\u00eancias disso\u2026 e o crist\u00e3o n\u00e3o \u00e9 diferente. Ent\u00e3o voltou-se para o homem e ordenou:\u201cPorque escutaste a voz de tua mulher e comeste da \u00e1rvore que Eu te proibira comer, maldita \u00e9 a terra por tua causa!Com sofrimentos obter\u00e1s do solo o teu alimento, todos os dias da tua vida”. (G\u00eanesis 3:17 – KJA) Mas o que pensar? Como encarar essa triste realidade da vida terrena?Muitas vezes parece que Deus, a quem a B\u00edblia chama de amor (vide 1\u00aa Jo\u00e3o 4:8), est\u00e1 frio e distante, ignorando a afli\u00e7\u00e3o de seus filhos, que parece n\u00e3o terminar nunca.Mas isso n\u00e3o \u00e9 verdade e eis uma passagem que podemos destacar para mostrar a preocupa\u00e7\u00e3o e o cuidado de Deus para com cada um de seus filhos: Por\u00e9m Si\u00e3o diz:J\u00e1 me desamparou o SENHOR, e o meu Senhor se esqueceu de mim.Porventura pode uma mulher esquecer-se tanto de seu filho que cria, que n\u00e3o se compade\u00e7a dele, do filho do seu ventre?Mas ainda que esta se esquecesse dele, contudo eu n\u00e3o me esquecerei de ti. (Isa\u00edas 49:14-15 – ACF) Esta parte final \u00e9 o que realmente chama a aten\u00e7\u00e3o e consola, onde Deus afirma que \u00e9 mais f\u00e1cil uma m\u00e3e abandonar um filho rec\u00e9m-nascido do que ele abandonar o seu povo, ou qualquer um de seus filhos.E esse n\u00e3o \u00e9 apenas um discurso vazio de significado ou que Deus n\u00e3o provasse ser verdade: o pr\u00f3prio Deus, na pessoa de seu Filho amado, Jesus Cristo, conheceu a dor, o sofrimento e a priva\u00e7\u00e3o.Isa\u00edas j\u00e1 falava a respeito do servo sofredor, que era homem de dores e que sabia o que \u00e9 padecer (vide Isa\u00edas 53:3). E seu padecimento n\u00e3o foi somente na sexta-feira, quando foi crucificado: Ele viveu uma vida humilde, como poucos viveram, inclusive n\u00e3o havendo quem hospedasse seus pais terrenos na noite de seu nascimento!Ele nasceu em um est\u00e1bulo, foi enrolado em panos, colocado em uma manjedoura, cresceu em uma fam\u00edlia humilde e, na vida adulta, pregava ao ar livre, andando de cidade em cidade, sem ter onde reclinar a cabe\u00e7a, ou seja, sem ter sequer a seguran\u00e7a de um lar fixo (vide Mateus 8:20). E, para assumir essa vida, vejamos de que Ele abriu m\u00e3o.Diz a B\u00edblia que ele se esvaziou simplesmente da gl\u00f3ria celestial, fazendo-se servo, obediente, at\u00e9 a morte de cruz (conforme Filipenses 2:5-8).Ele deixou de lado, por anos e anos, a sua gl\u00f3ria e viveu como poucos suportariam viver neste mundo.E, no fim, ainda foi submetido \u00e0 dor e morte da crucifica\u00e7\u00e3o! E tudo isso por qu\u00ea?Para salvar a todos, para providenciar o perd\u00e3o e a reconcilia\u00e7\u00e3o com Deus, que nos eram imposs\u00edveis por n\u00f3s mesmos. Ele amou quem n\u00e3o merecia ser amado e salvou quem n\u00e3o merecia salva\u00e7\u00e3o.E Ele pagou um pre\u00e7o alt\u00edssimo\u2026 incalcul\u00e1vel: o seu sangue divino.Diante disso, entenda que Ele compreende muito bem o que \u00e9 sofrer, n\u00e3o apenas por olhar, mas por ter sentido em seu corpo e sua alma o que \u00e9 o sofrimento. Ele conhece a dor e os anseios do cora\u00e7\u00e3o de cada um.Portanto, mesmo em meio \u00e0s dores e tristezas, estejamos firmes, pois Ele sabe que temos afli\u00e7\u00f5es na nossa vida terrena, por tamb\u00e9m t\u00ea-las sentido, mas Ele venceu todas elas, venceu o mundo e destaco a seguinte passagem como base desta reflex\u00e3o: Eu vos preveni sobre esses acontecimentos para que em mim tenhais paz.Neste mundo sofrereis tribula\u00e7\u00f5es; mas tende f\u00e9 e coragem!Eu venci o mundo. (Jo\u00e3o 16:33 – KJA) Estejamos firmes e com \u00e2nimo, mesmo em meio \u00e0s dores, pois temos um Deus que est\u00e1 conosco e nos compreende, pois Ele pr\u00f3prio sentiu as dores que sentimos, e o fez por amor a n\u00f3s todos. A percep\u00e7\u00e3o de que o mal se agiganta por sobre o mundo e imp\u00f5e sofrimento aos crist\u00e3os n\u00e3o \u00e9 ilus\u00f3ria!\u00c9 apenas mais um ind\u00edcio de que os tempos finais est\u00e3o se configurando vez mais rapidamente e, antes que o Senhor volte como um ladr\u00e3o na noite, \u00e9 necess\u00e1rio que o profetizado reinado do anticristo se consolide n\u00e3o apenas no Brasil, mas por todo o mundo!Na fase 2023 d’O Pior evangelho decidi lan\u00e7ar m\u00e3o de novos formatos na expectativa auxiliar a aumentar o alcance dos conte\u00fados relacionados \u00e0s Escrituras \u2014 stories, v\u00eddeos, textos mais curtos, autores convidados\u2026 \u2014 e essa publica\u00e7\u00e3o, onde tomei a liberdade de realizar revis\u00e3o e ilustra\u00e7\u00e3o,<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":19908,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[464],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-apologetica"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":464,"label":"Apolog\u00e9tica"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor-1024x576.jpg",800,450,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Eduardo Pydd Teixeira","author_link":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/author\/eduardo-pydd\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":464,"name":"Apolog\u00e9tica","slug":"apologetica","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":464,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":96,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":464,"category_count":96,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Apolog\u00e9tica","category_nicename":"apologetica","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor.jpg",1920,1080,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor-300x169.jpg",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor-768x432.jpg",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor-1024x576.jpg",800,450,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor-1536x864.jpg",1536,864,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor.jpg",1920,1080,false],"trp-custom-language-flag":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor.jpg",18,10,false],"mailpoet_newsletter_max":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dor.jpg",1320,743,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Eduardo Pydd Teixeira","author_link":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/author\/eduardo-pydd\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"A afli\u00e7\u00e3o chega a todos nesta terra.Desde que a humanidade se afastou de Deus, ainda no jardim do \u00c9den, sobre ela recaiu a tribula\u00e7\u00e3o e a dor, alcan\u00e7ando cada indiv\u00edduo independentemente de quais sejam suas caracter\u00edsticas e peculiaridades: a vida terrena traz dores e ang\u00fastias porque o ser humano vive em uma terra sobre a…","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
