Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types

John 18:3 (c) This figure may be used as a picture of the intellect of man seeking to find out GOD and CHRIST by searching. Man brings his light in an endeavor to find GOD. CHRIST is the Light of Life. All of man's intellectual lightness falls into an eclipse in the light of the Son of GOD. Man cannot find GOD by reasonings or deductions.
