John 20:28. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Leaping out of the slough of doubt, on to the rock of confidence, by a single spring, and getting further, perhaps, than others had done who had before outstripped him. He inferred the Deity of Christ from his wounds and his resurrection, - a grand chain of argument of which we have not the intervening links. His thoughtful mind made him feel that, if Christ was indeed risen, - the same Christ who had died, - it was proved, by those death-wounds, that he was both Lord and God; while his personal, appropriating faith, realizing the identity of the Saviour’s person, made him say, "My Lord and my God."
