In John 20:28, Thomas, one of the disciples, directly addresses Jesus as "My Lord and my God" (literally "The Lord of me and The God of Me" in the original Greek). This declaration is not just a moment of personal revelation for Thomas, who had previously doubted the resurrection, but also serves as the theological climax of the Gospel, tying directly back to the prologue introduced in John 1:1 and John 1:14. Thomas's acknowledgment of Jesus' divinity aligns with the opening verses of John's Gospel, which assert the divine nature and incarnation of the Word. The declaration "The Lord of me and The God of Me" not only marks a transformation in Thomas's understanding but also embodies the Gospel's central message: Jesus, the Word made flesh, embodies the full presence and authority of God. The purpose of Johns writing is to lead its readers to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing, they may have life in His name (John 20:31)
