The idea seems to me to be that one comes to the light in order
to show forth that his/her deeds were done "in God." This light shines
upon the deeds so that those who care to look upon them can see that
they were done "in God."

What in the world does this phrase "in God" mean? Has John developed
this idea of "in God" upto this point? Is this the first use of this
new concept of "in God?" (Prior to this, people could believe in God, but 
that use of "in him" does not seem to fit here.)
