Converting Constantine’s Conversion

John Janzen won 2nd place in Peter Rollin's parable contest for Constantine’s Conversion:

The Emperor Constantine, facing the biggest battle of his reign, looked into the setting sun at the Lilvian Bridge and saw a vision of the Cross of Christ. As he gazed at the cross he heard a voice say “By this sign, conquer”.

The next day he gave up his reign as Emperor, surrendered all his many possessions, and went to live and work among the poor.

And forever after he was known as one of the greatest heroes of the faith for his obedience to the voice of God.

-John Janzen
