This Statement by Thomas the Apostle of Jesus (YAHOSHUA) is an ASTOUNDING ONE ! ! ! It points to The Question of Questions that CHRIST ask his Apostles, WHOM DO MEN SAY THAT I THE SON OF MAN AM ?? (Matthew 16:13).
Deuteronomy 6:4 says "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD", this statement of Truth (Monotheism)was the Very Touchstone of The Law of Moses.
Consider the statement of CHRIST in John 8:24. "ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I Am (he) , ye shall die in your sins". The word (he) is not in the Original Greek. CHRIST is claiming to be THE I AM (ego eimi = eternally exist), of Exodus 3:14, "I AM THAT I AM".
Now for an Orthodox Jewish believer in The Law of Moses, this statement made by CHRIST demanded his death.
NOW THE QUESTION OF QUESTIONS COMES INTO FOCUS, WHOM DO MEN SAY I THE SON OF MAN AM ???
The Apostle Thomas (A Jew who believed in The Law of Moses, confesses his true belief "My LORD and My GOD"
Read and believe the message of The Gospel of John and The Truth of THE VERY WORD OF THE FATHER WILL SHINE INTO YOUR HEART. AMEN ! ! !

Great verse when talking to JWs. Earlier Jesus says the Father is our God, but does not rebuke or correct Thomas' statement. Rather he confirms it.
