Today’s meditation comes from The Gospel Of Thomas with music by Outside The Sky.
Passages: These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.
55 Jesus said, "Whoever does not hate his father and his mother cannot become a disciple to me. And whoever does not hate his brothers and sisters and take up his cross in my way will not be worthy of me."
56 Jesus said, "Whoever has come to understand the world has found only a corpse, and whoever has found a corpse is superior to the world."
57 Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a man who had good seed. His enemy came by night and sowed weeds among the good seed. The man did not allow them to pull up the weeds; he said to them, 'I am afraid that you will go intending to pull up the weeds and pull up the wheat along with them.' For on the day of the harvest the weeds will be plainly visible, and they will be pulled up and burned."
58 Jesus said, "Blessed is the man who has suffered and found life."
59 Jesus said, "Take heed of the living one while you are alive, lest you die and seek to see him and be unable to do so."
60 They saw a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way to Judea. He said to his disciples, "That man is round about the lamb."
They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it."
He said to them, "While it is alive, he will not eat it, but only when he has killed it and it has become a corpse."
They said to him, "He cannot do so otherwise."
He said to them, "You too, look for a place for yourself within repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten."
61 Jesus said, "Two will rest on a bed: the one will die, and the other will live." Salome said, "Who are you, man, that you have sat on my couch and eaten from my table?"
Jesus said to her, "I am he who exists from the undivided. I was given some of the things of my father."
"Therefore I say, if he is destroyed, he will be filled with light, but if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness." —The Gospel Of Thomas, Sayings 55-61
