Restoring what was Needed

Gospel of Truth · Section 12 of 16 · 3 passages

1This is the Word of the Gospel of the discovery of the fullness, which comes for those who are awaiting the salvation that is coming from above. The hope for which they are waiting is itself waiting for those whose image is light with no shadow in it. If, at that time, the fullness comes, the need of matter does not come through the infinity of the Father, who comes to give time to the need—although no one can say that the incorruptible one will come in this way. But the depth of the Father multiplied, and the thought of Error did not exist with him. It is something fallen, which is easily set upright in the discovery of the one who is to come to what he will return, because the return is called “repentance.”

2Because of this, incorruptibility breathed out. It followed after the one who sinned so that they might rest, because forgiveness is what remains for the light in need, the Word of fullness. For the doctor hurries to the place where there is sickness, because that is what he (or she) wants to do. The one in need, then, does not hide it, because one—the doctor—has what they need. In this way, the fullness, which has no need but fills the need, is what he provided from himself to fill up what was needed, so that they might receive grace. For when they were in need, they did not have grace. Because of this, a diminishing took place where there was no grace. When what had been diminished was restored, what they needed was revealed as fullness. This is the discovery of the light of Truth that enlightened them, because it does not change.

3Because of this, they spoke of Christ in their midst: “Seek, and those who were disturbed will receive a return—and he will anoint them with ointment.” The ointment is the mercy of the Father, who will have mercy on them. But those whom he anointed are those who have been completed, because full jars are the ones that are anointed. But when the anointing of one dissolves, it empties, and the cause of the need is the place where the ointment leaks, because a breath, with its power, draws it. But from the one who has no need, no seal is removed, nor is anything emptied. Instead, what it needs is filled again by the Father, who is complete.
