"He that ascended up on high, as well as descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth;"
That seems to be saying that Jesus Christ did not comprehend all things until he ascended up on high as well as descended below all things--or in other words, He only comprehended all things when He had performed the atonement. He suffered at the Garden of Getsemane but also on Galgotha, or on the cross.
The Light of Christ was around since before the world was created and before man, because as all men and women are born into this life, they are born with the Light of Christ.
Light of Truth and Light of Christ cannot be the exact same thing. We know from the Gospels that Christ had Light and Truth, but there must be some sort of difference between the Light of Christ--which is a specific concept powering all of God's creations, and the Light of Truth--which seems to be a less specific concept but just more of an adjective for Christ, right?
This seems like a quandary that I'm going to have to wait till I understand more of everything to know the answer, because I still can't form a question from this--only to say that I don't understand...
JPS?
