"These are the things the blessed Savior said, and he disappeared from them. Then all the disciples were in great, ineffable joy in the spirit from that day on. And his disciples began to preach the Gospel of God, the eternal, imperishable Spirit. Amen." (The Sophia of Jesus, Nag Hammadi Library)
We know of the Gospel of Matthew, of Mark, of Luke, of John. We know of the Gospel of Thomas. We rarely hear of the Gospel of God.
Who / What is God? The "eternal, imperishable Spirit." The Life Force. Our Source Sourcing. That-Which-Breathes-Us. The Enlivener and Enlivening.
The disciples began to teach the Gospel of God, not the Gospel of Jesus. They did not form a cult of Jesus nor Jesus organizations. They loved and listened to Jesus and fastened their gaze upon the One to whom Jesus pointed.
And what is the gospel (good news) of God? We are the sons and daughters, the offspring of the Wellspring. We are embodyings of the Life Force, of Spirit. We are God godding, our Source sourcing, our Wellspring springing.
This produces "great, ineffable joy."
