Oh, some arrogant men think that they come close to being life-givers by programming up a computer to imitate human thought, but they are deluding themselves if they think they have a prayer of truly creating life or consciousness in any form. Only through Christ is anything alive on this earth. In Him was life. Life is not inherent in creatures, but imparted by the power of Christ. Our tent of flesh, bones, blood and muscle is as worthless as a sack of sand without the God-given gift of life.
Life is the most important aspect of creation.
It is life that distinguishes the works of God from the works of man, and this fact applies not only to physical life, but also to spiritual life. We have spoken of Christ's ability to impart physical life, as Creator of the universe, but John is speaking of more than physical life. Only Christ can bring forth physical life, and only Christ can bring forth new life, life eternal. In Him was life. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
