The big question is what does it mean “the Word became flesh”? The Word is alluding to the human form of Jesus. If you read the first chapter of John, you will get insight into the relationship of the Father and Son prior to Jesus becoming flesh. The next question could be why? Why did The Word have to take on a human form? Now that Jesus came to Earth in human form, the Word of God could be offered to everyone. People could no longer disregard nor disbelieve in the Word, since He came to live with us, and show us the path, himself.
