He was a skeptic, but in the end, he was a convicted believer. Thomas, out of all the people who encountered Jesus had the most dramatic confession about the identity of the one known as Jesus.
Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" John 20.28
Great quote from Dorothy Sayers on Thomas . . .
It is unexpected, but extraordinarily convincing, that the one absolutely unequivocal statement in the whole gospel of the Divinity of Jesus should come from Doubting Thomas. It is the only place where the word God is used ... without qualification of any kind, and in the most unambiguous form of words .... And this must be said -- not ecstatically, or with a cry of astonishment -- but with flat conviction, as of one acknowledging irrefragable evidence: '2 + 2 = 4,' 'That is the sun in the sky,' 'You are my Lord and my God!'
