The Gospel of Truth I begin a new study in “The Gospel of Truth”. My inclination this time around is toward a simpler format. The original text will be placed one 'paragraph' at a time, and will be seen in Times New Roman 14 italics. Each 'paragraph' will be followed by my own paraphrased version of the original in Times New Roman 14 regular type – which will then be followed by commentary. Quotes from external sources, such as Wikipedia, will be placed in Times New Roman regular type, and quotes from the Bible will be placed in Arial 12 regular type. Original text will be indented while paraphrasing and commentary will be placed flush against the left. Bold type and underlined words, I hope, will be used sparingly, but nevertheless, they will be placed where I deem closer attention should be directed. I hope this refined format will free the mind for reception of the communication. I encourage readers to do the same thing I do, that is to work through the Holy Spirit toward a greater understanding of truth – wherever it may be found. Let us begin. The message of truth is joy for those who have received from the Father of truth the grace of knowing him, through the power of the Word that came forth from the fullness, the one who is in the thought and the mind of the Father, that is, the one who is addressed as 'the Savior', (that) being the name of the work he is to perform for the redemption of those who were ignorant of the Father, while in the name of the message is the proclamation of hope, being discovery for those who search for him. Paraphrased: The fullness, the one who is addressed as 'the Savior', was in the thought and mind of the Father of truth. Savior is the name and message of the work he is to perform, a work that will result in the redemption of those who've been ignorant of the Father. A statement of hope may also be found in the name of the message, and for those who seek him, that name is discovery. What they discover is the message of truth, and to all whom the Father of truth communicates the grace of knowing him, that message is joy. Commentary: What I see in the opening statement is a tendril, a small electrical finger of communication snaking around until it connects with an isolated individual. That connection provides an avenue whereby the individual may discover his or her true nature, a nature that lies beyond his or her self-containment and limitation. Imagine the scenario in terms of light bulbs. Imagine the Savior as a 100 watt bulb. Imagine those who seek as 60 watt bulbs, and knowledge of the Father of truth as
