John 20:28 (King James Version)
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

My Lord: with a full and satisfactory demonstration of the resurrection of our Lord. Throughout the divine dispensations every doctrine and ever important truth is gradually revealed; and here we have a conspicuous instance of the progressive system. An angel first declares the glorious event; the empty sepulchre confirms the women's report. Christ's appearance to Mary Magdalene shewed that he was alive; that to the disciples at Emmaus proved that it was at the least the spirit of Christ; that to the eleven shewed the reality of his body; and the conviction given to Thomas proved it the self-same body that had been crucified. Incredulity itself is satisfied; and the convinced apostle exclaims, in the joy of his heart, "My Lord and my God!"; John 20:16 John 20:31 ; 5:23 9:35-38 Psalms 45:6 Psalms 45:11 ; 102:24-28 118:24-28 Isaiah 7:14 ; 9:6; Isaiah 25:9 ; 40:9-11 Jeremiah 23:5 Jeremiah 23:6 ; Malachi 3:1 ; Matthew 14:33 ; Luke 24:52; Acts 7:59 Acts 7:60 ; 1 Timothy 3:16 ; Revelation 5:9-14
