Abstract
In the Gospel of John knowing appears in four different modes: (1) recognition of the true identity of a person; (2) knowing God, which includes mystical participation in the divine life; (3) knowing or understanding the truth; (4) making the truth known to those within the community of faith. Following the death, resurrection and exaltation of Jesus, the continuing divine presence with God's people and the source of their direction and enablement is the Holy Spirit. Many interpreters of the Gospel of John, including those who have employed existentialist categories for their exegesis, have pictured it as primarily concerned for individual in his or her relation to God through Christ. The first of the images of participation in the new people of God is light. Thus the world will be informed concerning the truth that Jesus has been sent by God, that his people in all their diversity are one.
