Thomas, the Emphatic Sinner | John 20:19-31 with Lars Olson & Sarah Stenson

In the morning, Jesus' empty tomb was discovered. By the evening, the disciples locked themselves in a room because they were terrified they were next. 

The next thing they know, Jesus was standing among them and immediately gives them peace. The disciples rejoice that Jesus is alive, but Jesus gets down to business—he gives them the Holy Spirit and the Great Commission to repent and forgive sins in his name. 

In this week's conversation, Lars Olson and Sarah Stenson teach Adam, Kiri and I what the Great Commission means for us today, what the Office of the Keys is, and why calling Thomas "Doubting Thomas" is incorrect because doubt is not a virtue. 

Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:

• What does the Great Commission mean for us today?
• What is the Office of the Keys?
• Why shouldn't we call Thomas "Doubting Thomas?"
