🔥 Focus of the Week
The journey ends where it began: within. The final sayings of the Gospel of Thomas reveal that all seeking—of truth, God, salvation—is fulfilled through self-knowledge. To know yourself is not ego worship; it is the Gnostic act of remembering your origin and reclaiming your divine spark.
Another Layer of Light
📖 Readings: Gospel of Thomas – Sayings 3 (revisited), 108, 113
📜 Gospel of Thomas – Marvin Meyer translation
✨ Saying 3 (revisited)
“If those who lead you say, ‘The kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds will get there first. If they say, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will get there first.
Rather, the kingdom is within you and outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known…”
🔹 Commentary: We’ve heard this before—but now it’s time to live it. Stop searching for salvation in temples, doctrines, or distant heavens. You are the sanctuary.
✨ Saying 108
“Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me; I myself shall become that person, and the hidden things will be revealed to them.”
🔹 Commentary: Communion isn’t about ritual—it’s about union. To receive truth from Jesus is to embody it. Gnosis creates oneness with the divine.
✨ Saying 113
“His disciples said to him, ‘When will the kingdom come?’
Jesus said, ‘It will not come by watching for it. They will not say, “Look, here it is!” or “Look, there it is!” Rather, the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and people do not see it.’”
🔹 Commentary: We are not waiting for heaven. We are missing it—because it looks too ordinary, too present, too real. Wake up. The Kingdom has already begun.
