### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/John1.2-5)
Having identified the Word as God, John continues his prologue by describing the Word's role.
He reiterates the eternality of the Word, and His distinction as a person, because he then tells us that the creation of everything was accomplished through the Word.
Creation is a divine prerogative, and cannot be obtained by anything that was itself created.
Yet, we see the multiple Persons united in the Godhead acting in concert to create the entirety of the universe.
The phrase "In him was life" (_v. 4_) is another proclamation of the Word's deity.
Created things have live in themselves because it was given to them, but God is alive simply because He is.
He is the source of all life, and was not given it by another.
Instead, His life is compared to the light that shines on men.
Shining down on everyone as it is, the darkness cannot stop the light from accomplishing its purpose.

Author of life, shine on us and make us alive in You.
