Saying 50: Our Origin and Identity
Jesus said, "If they ask you, 'Where do you come from?' tell them, 'We've come from the light, the place where light came into being by itself, [established] itself, and appeared in their image.'
"If they ask you, 'Is it you?' then say, 'We are its children, and we're chosen by our living Father.'
"If they ask you, 'What's the sign of your Father in you?' then say, 'It's movement and rest.'"
