In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus performs no physical miracles, discloses no fulfilment of prophecy, announces no apocalyptic kingdom that will disrupt the world order, and dies for no one's sins. Instead, he reveals wisdom and knowledge so that people may be enlightened. The sole reference to the cross occurs in saying 55, where the image of one bearing a cross seems to be used in a metaphorical sense. (Euan Cameron, The Secret Gospels of Jesus: The Definitive Collection of Mystical Gospels and Secret Books About Jesus of Nazareth).
The Gospel of Thomas was never seriously considered for inclusion in the New Testament canon.
