Selections From “Pistis Sophia” – Salvation, Part 1 of 2

On today’s show, we learn of Pistis Sophia’s faith in Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian), her call for His help, and the truth that goodness will always prevail over adversity.

CHAPTER 52

“[…] Jesus continued again and said unto His disciples: ‘It came to pass then, when Pistis Sophia had proclaimed the ninth repentance, that the lion-faced power oppressed her again, desiring to take away all powers from her. She cried out again to the Light, saying: “O Light, in whom I have had faith from the beginning, for whose sake I have endured these great pains, help me.”

And in that hour her repentance was accepted from her. The First Mystery hearkened unto her, and I was sent off at His command. I came to help her, and led her up out of the chaos, because she had repented, and also because she had had faith in the Light and had endured these great pains and these great perils. She had been deluded through the god-like self-willed, and had not been deluded through anything else, save through a Light-Power, because of its resemblance to the Light in which she had had faith. For this cause then was I sent forth at the command of the First Mystery to help her secretly. I did not however yet go to the region of the aeons at all; but I passed down through the midst out of them, without any single power knowing it, either those of the interior of the interior or those of the exterior of the exterior, save only the First Mystery.

It came to pass then, when I came into the chaos to help her, that she saw Me, that I was understanding and shone exceedingly and was full of compassion for her. For I was not self-willed as the lion-faced power, which had taken away the light-power from Sophia, and had also oppressed her in order to take away from her the whole light in her. Sophia then saw me, that I shone ten-thousand times more than the lion-faced power, and that I was full of compassion for her. And she knew that I came out of the Height of heights, in whose Light she had had faith from the beginning. […]’”
