John 20:27-28
Put your finger here ...... Extend your <5342 5602 4675 1147> [Reach hither thy finger.]
Put your ... here ..... hands Extend your hand <5342 5602 4675 5495> [reach hither thy hand.]
and ........ and ....... Do ... continue <2532 1096> [and be.]
My Lord ... my <3450 2962> [My Lord.]
The disbelief of the apostle is the means of furnishing us with a full and satisfactory demonstration of the resurrection of our Lord. Throughout the divine dispensations every doctrine and ever important truth is gradually revealed; and here we have a conspicuous instance of the progressive system. An angel first declares the glorious event; the empty sepulchre confirms the women's report. Christ's appearance to Mary Magdalene shewed that he was alive; that to the disciples at Emmaus proved that it was at the least the spirit of Christ; that to the eleven shewed the reality of his body; and the conviction given to Thomas proved it the self-same body that had been crucified. Incredulity itself is satisfied; and the convinced apostle exclaims, in the joy of his heart, "My Lord and my God!"
