Constantine
made a great impact in the Age of Roman Empire. He was considered a
great emperor. He made a history during the Edict of Milan which
became the landmark of Christian History wherein a new religion has
tolerated the empire and that is Christian. He gathered the Council
of Nicaea and formulated the Nicene Creed. He abolished the offensive
pagan customs and emancipate the Christian slaves. He even
contributed to the building of temples. He can't have all the
success he had achieved if he had not paid price for it. He made
mistakes and bad moves but his wrong moves rooted on his desire for
great power and authority. He warred against his brother -in-law
Licinius and violated the promised mercy on them. He even executes
his eldest son as well as his wife. His loved ones in exchange to a
strong and excellent empire.
Indeed,
in every decision that we will be making there is always a price to
pay. I deeply thought of the things that I have done and I will still
be doing for the Lord. I know someday I will face a situation that I
will be making decisions. It is my hope and prayer that the Lord will
surely lead me to always make the right decision. I dream to be a
successful minister someday and I am looking forward to a possible
price to pay for the Lord's sake. It maybe through giving up
possessions, career, loved ones, and hopefully I would be paying the
price in a wise way by God's help.
