My Lord and my God

My Lord and my God John 20:28

In John 20:28, the Apostle Thomas declares, "My Lord and my God!" upon seeing the resurrected Jesus, marking a pivotal confession of faith after previously doubting the resurrection. This statement, made after Thomas touched Jesus's wounds, is widely regarded as a direct affirmation of Jesus's divinity and his resurrection.

Key Details Regarding the Encounter:
  • Context: Thomas, known as "Didymus," was absent during Jesus's first appearance to the disciples after the resurrection and refused to believe without physical proof.
  • The Appearance: A week later, Jesus appeared again and invited Thomas to touch his wounds, telling him to "stop doubting and believe".
  • The Confession: Thomas immediately responds with, "My Lord and my God!".
  • Jesus's Response: Jesus does not correct or rebuke Thomas, but rather states that belief without seeing is blessed, validating Thomas's confession.
  • Significance: This is one of the most direct, explicit confessions of Jesus's divinity in the New Testament. It serves as a climax to John's Gospel, reinforcing that the crucified Jesus is indeed the Lord and God.
Interpretations:
  • Trinitarian/Christian View: Interpreted as a confession of Jesus as both Lord and God, affirming his divine nature.
  • Alternative Views: Some interpretations suggest this is an exclamation directed at the Father in recognition of the power displayed through Jesus, or a recognition of Jesus as God's representative.
This moment is often cited to demonstrate that Jesus accepted worship and adoration as God.

My God and my Savior 

Psalm 18:2 and Psalm 27:1 are the primary scriptures declaring God as "my savior," "rock," and "light." In Psalm 18:2, David declares, "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection" (NLT). Psalm 27:1 states, "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?".

Key Psalm Verses Declaring God as Savior
  • Psalm 18:2 (NLT): "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety".
  • Psalm 27:1 (KJV): "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?".
  • Psalm 25:5 (NIV): "...for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long".
  • Psalm 68:19-20: Highlights God as the one who daily bears our burdens and is the God who saves.
These verses are frequently used to express trust in God's protection, deliverance, and strength in times of fear or trouble.
