'My Lord and My God' - John 20:26-28

Eight days [after Jesus appeared to the disciples when Thomas was absent,] the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. "Peace be with you," he said. Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don't be faithless any longer. Believe!"
"My Lord and my God!" Thomas exclaimed.


—John 20:26-28 NLT

Key Thought​

What is our reaction to the resurrected Lord? Who are we to understand Jesus to be? What is his role in our lives? Thomas gives us the words and the attitude, "My Lord and my God!" Now it is our turn to make those words true in our own lives!

Today's Prayer​

Lord God Almighty, who came in human flesh as Jesus, I praise you for your love, mercy, power, and grace. I bow down before you and offer you my life, my future, and my time to your glory. Amen.

Believe and trust His word. Jesus is the One sent from heave to save us, cleanse us and purify our heart. My Savior and My God... He alone is worthy of all praise.

 

[Rizakar]

It is funny half the time when I think of seeing Jesus and getting to be in the very same room with Him my first instinct is to hit the floor at His feet and then I think THE JOY I would be feeling would overtake me and I would be jumping around laughing and crying all at the same time. I pray whatever happens it will be pleasing to my Lord in His precious Name. Amen.
