Gospel of Thomas - Chapter 110
From Sensus Plenior
Saying 109
- (109) Jesus said, "The kingdom is like a man who had a hidden treasure in his field without knowing it. And after he died, he left it to his son. The son did not know (about the treasure). He inherited the field and sold it. And the one who bought it went plowing and found the treasure. He began to lend money at interest to whomever he wished."
These are the sons of God. The first was Adam who had a hidden treasure in the garden but didn't know it. His son Israel (the nation) also had the treasure in the Torah, but didn't know it. The church now has the treasure and when it shares it, gets more in return.
