Then he said to Thomas, "...Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
Thomas said to him,
"My Lord and my God!"
John 20:27-28 NIV
Tom got it. Eventually.
Its not clear that he actually reached out, but in that moment he knew that Jesus was who he said he was.
Everyone's journey is different, but the answer - my Lord and my God - the word for Lord is;
kyrios - properly, a person exercising absolute ownership rights; lord (Lord).
Tom is saying Jesus you're in charge now.
Whatever you ask, I'll do.
Wherever you send me, no matter the consequences...I'll go.
Tom had been with Jesus, was a follower, but was holding something back...but now, now he's all in.
Am I holding back?
