The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is extra to the canonical gospels in the New Testament of the bible. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried and hidden after the declaration of a strict canon of Christian scripture, where any works that were not selected for inclusion in the new testament were ordered to be destroyed. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as 60 AD and as late as 250 AD as a collection of sayings of Jesus.
Our Commentary on Verse 032 of Thomas Gospel.
These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.
Gospel of Thomas Saying 32 - A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Jesus said, "A city being built on a high mountain and fortified cannot fall, nor can it be hidden."
The city Jesus refers to is our inner being. We are the administrators of this city within. Just like a real city there are those that would like to weaken our defences to take control of us and use us.
If we are well fortified through the sure knowing of the reality of the Absolute then that strength,
which is our fortification will not fail us. Jesus offers us this strength through his knowledge of the Divine. Once the light of divine knowledge is seen then we become that light. And, that divine light shines clear for all to see. Like a “city being built on a high mountain” that light ”cannot be hidden”.
