The thoughtful reader of this Gospel immediately recognizes certain connections: (1) Thomas’ confession is the climactic exemplification of what it means to honour the Son as the Father is honoured (5:23).
It is the crowning display of how human faith has come to recognize the truth set out in the Prologue: ‘The Word was God …; the Word became flesh’ (1:1, 14).
(2) At the same time, Jesus’ deity does not exhaust deity; Jesus can still talk about his God and Father in the third person.
After all, this confession is set within a chapter where the resurrected Jesus himself refers to ‘my Father … my God’ (v.
17).
This is entirely in accord with the careful way he delineates the nature of his unique sonship (5:16–30).
(3) The reader is expected to articulate the same confession, as the next verse implies.
John’s readers, like Thomas, need to come to faith; and this is what coming to faith looks like.
Clearly this has critical bearing on how vv.
30–31 are interpreted.
도마는 왜 나의 주시요, 나의 하나님이심을 고백할 수 있었는가?
명시적으로는 부활하신 주님을 눈과 손으로 보지 않고서는 믿지 못하겠다는 도마.
표면적인 이유 말고 진정한 이유가 따로 있는 것은 아닐까?
십자가의 흔적을 가지고 계신 예수님에게서 우리는 나의 주시요 나의 하나님이심을 고백해야 하는 것은 아닌가?
도마의 고백은 예수 그리스도를 하나님으로 높이는 것의 최상의 표현이다(5:23).
하나님은 말씀이시다.
그 말씀이 육신이 되셨다.
고난당하신 예수 그리스도를 바라보라.
그분의 고난과 부활을 함께 볼 수 있다는 것, 고난이 부활이 된다는 것, 고난을 거쳐야만 부활이 된다는 것.
