(John 20:28)
Let’s look at this scripture in light of the revelation that Jesus is God (John 1:1,10,14). Thomas didn't believe that Christ had arisen. However, Thomas knew according to the prophecies, Isaiah 53, that God, the Messiah, would come and he knew that “the Christ” would be resurrected.
Jesus gave Thomas a demonstration which proved that He was alive and well and that He was the Christ. Therefore, when Thomas found out that Jesus had been resurrected and He was real, he knew without a doubt that Jesus Christ was the Messiah.
Thus he called Jesus Christ My Lord and my God (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, I John 5:20, Revelation 1:8).
