+### [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.
