Thomas-The Missing Disciple (9 of 13)
12 Men Who Changed The World

John 20:19-29
INTRO: I want you to take your Bibles now this morning and be finding your place at John chapter 20 if you would. We have been in a series of studies since the middle of February on the 12 ordinary men who Jesus called and commissioned to become His disciples.
