Episode 1052 “Twenty Days Of Thomas” Day 11: Sayings 66-76

Today’s meditation comes from The Gospel Of Thomas with music by Elision.Passages: These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.66 Jesus said, "Show me the stone which the builders have rejected. That one is the cornerstone."67 Jesus said, "If one who knows the all still feels a personal deficiency, he is completely deficient."68 Jesus said, "Blessed are you when you are hated and persecuted. Wherever you have been persecuted they will find no place."69 Jesus said, "Blessed are they who have been persecuted within themselves. It is they who have truly come to know the father. Blessed are the hungry, for the belly of him who desires will be filled."70 Jesus said, "That which you have will save you if you bring it forth from yourselves. That which you do not have within you will kill you if you do not have it within you."71 Jesus said, "I shall destroy this house, and no one will be able to build it."72 A man said to him, "Tell my brothers to divide my father's possessions with me." He said to him, "O man, who has made me a divider?"He turned to his disciples and said to them, "I am not a divider, am I?"73 Jesus said, "The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Beseech the Lord, therefore, to send out laborers to the harvest."74 He said, "O Lord, there are many around the drinking trough, but there is nothing in the cistern."75 Jesus said, "Many are standing at the door, but it is the solitary who will enter the bridal chamber."76 Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a merchant who had a consignment of merchandise and who discovered a pearl. That merchant was shrewd. He sold the merchandise and bought the pearl alone for himself. You too, seek his unfailing and enduring treasure where no moth comes near to devour and no worm destroys." —The Gospel Of Thomas, Sayings 66-76Music: “Breathless” by ElisionNarrator: Ryan Phipps
