Constantine had declared Christianity would be the official religion of the Roman Empire and he wanted all of his soldiers to be baptized. There was just one catch; when they went in the water and got baptized, most of them got baptized, but they held one hand out of the water. It was their sword hand. They refused to let the hand that got things done be baptized for Jesus, which honestly has caused me to ask, “What’s in my un-baptized hand?”
