Words that make me go hmmm...

I previously shared from The Gospel of Thomas in a piece not long ago. I picked the paperback up again tonight to find something to read and think quietly for awhile. Today, I had the opportunity to be "thoughtful" twice, something I don't find enough time for lately. Once, I was on the turnpike driving to Orlando Harley Davidson for parts. The traffic was light and as I drove, I was still for awhile and felt God's presence. I think He likes my car because I catch up with Him there often. The second time was when I read these words from Thomas:
50a.  Jesus said: If they ask you, Where are you from?" reply to them, "We have come from the place where light is produced from itself. It came and revealed itself in their image?
50b.  If they ask you, "Are you it? reply to them, "We are his Sons. We are chosen ones of the living Father.
50c.  If they ask you "What is the sign within you of your Father? reply to them, "It is movement. It is rest."

Since the book is written without many contextual clues, it gives the words an aura or mystique that reminds me of "Grasshopper" in the old Kung Fu shows. However, there is a good possibility that these words were said by a wise and thoughtful Jesus, both teacher and sage. The lack of antecedents for the pronouns cloak the words in even more mystery. However, when I read them aloud to myself, I feel them deeply. They make me go hmmm...

Peace.
