The only rebuke from Jesus in that reply was for his lack of faith. That is he needed to see with his eyes before he would believe.John 20:
24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!”
27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
...and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
It is in Jesus that ALL things hold together. And when the present heavens wear out He will roll them up like a scroll.
All the fullness of the deity dwells in Jesus. He is the radiance of God glory and the exact representation of Gods being. He is all that the Father is. Mighty God and He and the Father are one.
That is the glory the Father has bestowed upon Jesus by His own authority. No one can take away from it.
