I wrote last time of the persecution of the church of Christ,that it went on for a long time,and I finished by saying ,'to believe that a Caesar might be won for Christ was indeed to believe in miracles',well the miracle happened,Constantine the Great became a Christian ,he would reign for 31yrs.Much would change,but not everything,slavery didn't,some Christians saw it as a neccessary evil,it was taken for granted by many Christians,there were those like Gregory who spoke of the evil of it.But Christianty did make a difference no longer were slaves of no importance for Christianity taught that in Christ they had a new standing ,spiritually they were now equal citizens of the Kingdom of God, for in Christ,'There is neither Jew nor Gentile,neither slave nor free,nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus'.A new reality had come into being that in itself was a miracle.In a world we expect things right now,but that's not the way things happen.There so many things needing to change in this world,awful things,the church is still being persecuted,Isalamic violence is beyond descrpition,a religion that holds a knife at the throats of its followers,if they dare to question their religion,or leave it.Yes there is so much that needs to change.As for myself and many others we lift our eyes heavenward ,and pray even so come Lord Jesus, for His coming will be the final solution for this world.
