These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke
and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.

THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS
1:50

50)  Jesus said, “If they say to you, ‘Where did you come from?’,
say to them, ‘We came from the light, the place where the light
came into being on its own accord and established [itself] and became manifest/clear through their image.’ If they say to you, ‘Is it you?’, say, ‘We are its children, we are the elect/chosen of the Living Father.’ If they ask you, ‘What is the sign of your father in you?’, say to them, ‘It is movement and repose.’”

Okay so when I read this I didn’t understand the greatness of saying.
“TELL THEM THAT, IT IS MOVEMENT AND REPOSE.” So I looked up what those words actually mean; their deep meaning; because my limited understanding couldn’t see the greatness of these two words.
I then started searching and
found these definitions  that made it so amazingly beautiful!
You see, Jesus spoke in parables so, the people who had intellect, the Pharisees, could not understand them; however, the people he chose, the elect, would be inspired to search out the meaning in order to understand.
It’s just amazing when you look up two little words and it makes the entire verse astoundingl!

REPOSE:
PEACE, TRANQUILITY
A state of rest, sleep, or tranquility.
A state of resting after exertion or strain especially : rest in sleep
Eternal or heavenly restpray for the repose of a soul
A harmony in the arrangement of parts and colors that is restful to the eye
MOVEMENT:
Moving parts of a mechanism that transmit a definite motion
A series of organized activities working toward an objective also: an organized effort to promote or attain an end.
Definition of movement in motion:
A sense  of movement
A distinct structural unit or division having its own key, rhythmic structure, and themes and forming part of an extended musical composition:
The symphony consisted of three movements.

1. A particular rhythmic flow of language :
2. Art movement
3. A harmonious
rrangement of colors and forms, providing a restful visual effect.

How extraordinary is that…
