The Sermon on the Light

{"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the Light." - Plato}
My "Sermon on the Light" post is based on sayings of Yeshua from both canonical and extra-canonical sources: New Testament, the Coptic Nag Hammadi Library, and Pistis Sophia -- The Books of the Savior.
Therefore, trust in me...........Understand what the Great Light is.
Do not let heaven’s Kingdom become a desert within you. Do not be proud of the Light that enlightens. Rather, act toward yourselves as I myself have toward you.
Look to the Living One while your are alive, lest you die and seek to see Him and be unable to see.
Walk while you have the Light, so darkness won’t overpower you. Those who walk in the dark don’t know where they are going. Since you have the Light, believe in the Light, so you will become Children of the Light.
If they say to you, ’Where have you come from?’ say to them, ’We have come from the Light, from the place where the Light came into being by itself, established [itself], and appeared in their image.’ If they say to you, ’Is it you?’ say, ’We are its children, and we are the chosen of the Living Father.’
I am the Light that is over all things. I am all: from Me all came forth, and to Me all attained. Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find Me there.
I am the Light of the world; anyone who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light of Life.
I will give you what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, what no hand has touched, and what has never occurred to the human mind. If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of Light.
There is a Light within a person of Light, and it shines on the whole world. If it does not shine, it is dark.
The lamp of the body is the eye. It follows that if your eye is clear, your whole body will be filled with Light. But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be darkness. If then the Light inside you is darkened, what darkness that will be!
For this reason I say, if one is whole, one will be filled with Light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness.
Whoever does not know the work of perfection does not know anything. If one does not stand in the darkness, one will not be able to see the Light.
When you remove ill will from yourselves, then you will clothe yourselves with Light and enter the wedding chamber.
When you strip without being ashamed, and you take your clothes and put them under your feet like children and trample them, then you will see the Son of the Living One and you will not be afraid.
In all truth I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born from Above.
When you see One who was not born of woman, fall on your faces and worship. That One is your Father.
When I have gone to the Light, preach to all the world and say to them: ’Do not cease seeking day or night and do not let yourselves relax until you find the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which will purify you and make you into pure Light and lead you into the Kingdom of Light.’
