The Gospel of Thomas

Jesus expresses a lot of his teachings to his disciples and to everyone. We are always searching for an answer, but we have to find the answer ourselves and a lot of the answers already have come, we just don't recognize it.

"If you bring forth what is inside you, what you bring forth will save you. If you don't bring forth what is inside you, what you don't bring forth will destroy you."
Asking where and how for the Kingdom of God, he will not answer you because he doesn't know the answer only you know the answer. It is within you, it can be sought then discovered and then entered.

Another quote I liked in this speech is the disciples ask Jesus who he is and he responds, "You search for me through heaven and earth, but you don't know the one who is right before your eyes, because you don't know how to search into this very moment." He is saying that you are not seeing the presents of him, not seeing the truth of him even though he is right in front of you.

The disciples ask him when will the kingdom come? The kingdom of God is within us and it grows naturally like a plant within us. Searching for it will not come, discovering the kingdom of God is giving up everything you want and the joy it brings to you to do anything. "For the kingdom of the Father is already spread out over the earth, but people don't see it." We don't see it because its within us and we shall seek, discover, enter and it will grow within us.
