  Gospel of John - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gospel of John is the fourth gospel in the canon of the New Testament, traditionally ascribed to John the Evangelist.

When John writes the Gospel, he is well aware that he is addressing Christians, members of the Church, members of an alive liturgical community, participants in the eucharistic celebration, people who have experienced a union with Christ through the communion of his blood and his body.
John was fully aware of this fact, thus subtly and powerfully projected another way, namely the way of believing without previously seeing, and more specifically of believing on the basis of the testimony of the apostolic eyewitnesses.

John 20:28 is Thomas' response to a subsequent visit by Our Risen Savior, Jesus, during which he was present.
From Jesus' response in John 20:29, we know that Thomas' response was a statement of belief, not some exclamation of surprise, or shock.
John 20:28 and 20:29 along with other Scriptural Evidence, disproves the teachings of those, who claim that Jesus is not Jehovah God; but is some lesser god, or just simply a prophet.

 Definition of John 20:18
John 20:18 is the eighteenth verse of the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John in the Bible.
John gives far less detail of this event than the other Gospels who go into some detail about the meeting between Mary and the disciples and discuss who they did not believe what Mary had told them, John ignores all of this.
Some scholars, such as Norman Geisler, feel that for John's resurrection account to fit logically with the other three gospels John must have left out several events occurring between Mary's leaving Jesus and her meeting with the disciples.

It was not to the Eleven, not even to John, that Christ first showed Himself; it was to a woman, and she the one out of whom He had cast seven demons—one who had been the complete slave of Satan.
John is more explicit: "two angels." When these other women saw the two angels, they were on the outside of the sepulcher; but when Mary looked down they were now within.

John answers in verse 31: "but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name." By calling Jesus the Christ, this would mean that Jesus was anointed, but by whom?
Additionally, John sums up his lesson covering these momentous events, saying, "But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name." (John 20:31).
John, who is aged and serene while writing his Gospel, summarizes this entire chapter saying, "Jesus is the Christ, the son of God." That’s a clear statement of what he wanted us to believe—and that’s what Thomas believed as well.

 For an Answer: Christian Apologetics John 20:28
The confession of Thomas, coming as it does at the climax of John's Gospel, is perhaps the clearest affirmation of Christ's deity in the Bible.
It is obvious that what is being done by Thomas in John 20:28, is the same thing being done in Rev. 4:11 by the twenty-four elders, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power,…” This passage is pretty straight forward.
John 20:17 is a great passage demonstrating that “My God” is this passage means the same semantic meaning as Jn 20:28.
