Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” – John 20:28

Thomas was affirming Christ’s earlier teaching to him that to see and believe in him was to see and believe in the Father. Christ declared and explained the Father in terms of everything he said and did. He is the way to the Father and through him we know the Father. Christ explained that they saw the Father when they saw him because the Father abiding in him did the works.

Since seeing Christ meant seeing the Father, Thomas said t, “My Lord and my God.” Thomas is confessing what the entire Gospel of John is about.

Christ made the Father known to the people of the world. The only begotten declares and explains the Father. For that reason, to see Christ is to see the Father. To see the Lord Jesus is to see the Father, our God, and Jesus Christ’s God. In the same way when other see Christ in us, it does not make us literally Christ, but rather Christ by the Holy Spirit working through us.

Blessed are you Thomas. Because you have SEEN, you have believed. – John 20:29

He who believes in me, does not believe in me but in Him who sent me.

He who sees me SEES Him who sent me. – John 12:44-45

That is the meaning of, “My Lord and my God.”
