Gospel of Thomas - Chapter 009
From Sensus Plenior
Saying 7
- (7) Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man."
Jesus is the Lion of Judah
We consume Christ, the lion of Judah, when we eat the bread of communion, he abides in us. Cursed is the man who is judged by Christ.
Lion is a pun to light and skin. It represents the Holiness of God, as the judge and through the judges.
