Thomas proclaimed “My Lord and My God!” Not just Lord in the sense of Master, teacher, but Lord in the ultimate sense: “Jesus you are God. Only God can do this great miracle.” This is the supreme statement of who Jesus is, the supreme testimony of faith.
Those signs and miracles that John recorded in his gospel account culminated in this the greatest sign, the glorified body of the risen Christ, and in this greatest affirmation of faith. I John have seen this and testify to you that it is true. Others have seen it too. You can trust us. Jesus is God. How will you respond to Him.
Years later as John wrote, he was overcome with emotion as he recalled the vivid memory of that night and the words of faith that no one has ever said in such a way! “My Lord and My God!” John was overcome with such joy himself that he offered an invitation to his readers to believe in Jesus as Lord and God and receive eternal life in His Name. That invitation is made to us as well. We have not seen but are blessed because we have believed.
But maybe you don’t believe it? Maybe some of young have never said to Jesus “My Lord and My God” and meant it. Now is the time. We have the sure testimony of men and women who saw the risen Lord Jesus. They had no reason to lie. Their testimony is given to you. Now, you have to choose to believe or reject it. I pray that you will believe.
