What a powerful story; the wrap-up of the book of John! I love picture of Jesus just appearing in the room, a locked room, especially when Jesus came again and spoke to Thomas. Thomas had to have felt so humbled and foolish for his doubting. He exclaimed, "My Lord and my God!" The doubt was removed and although we use the phrase "doubting Thomas" when speaking about people who are skeptical, I imagine that Thomas truly became on fire for the Lord after that and no one doubted his belief and faith anymore.
