“Life” in the Bible has reference to what we love, to our affections, because what we care
about actually makes us who we are. “Light” has to do with our thinking, our intellect –
which is not life itself, but defines and guides our lives. This verse, then, in saying “in
him was life,” reveals that it is divine truth that inspires our feelings, that makes us want
what is good. And when we want what is good, that will be “the light of men,” inspiring
us to seek and understand true ideas that can help us actually be good and do what is
good.
So divine truth – the exquisite expression of the Lord’s love – is not only the driving
force behind creation, it is also the agent that creates our own internal lives, inspiring our
desires for good and through them our understanding of what is true.
