Q.. Jesus is a Word of God
Yes, Jesus is often referred to as the Word of God. This concept is derived from the Gospel of John, where it states that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1) This verse is referring to Jesus, who is the incarnation of God's message and purpose for humanity. Jesus, as the Word of God, is considered to be the divine expression of God's love, salvation, and teachings.

Q...so then "God made Jesus
Jesus is the Son of God and the second person of the Holy Trinity, which includes God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus was not created by God in a conventional sense but rather existed eternally with God. Jesus, as the Son of God, took on human form through the process of the Incarnation, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. God's act of entering human history and becoming fully human while still being fully divine. So, it is that God took on human form in Jesus rather than being made by God in the way we typically understand creation.
**********************************************
Q..So then did God Himself come down from heaven and became human
Yes, God Himself (“Word “was with God and the Word was God)came down from heaven and took on human form in the person of Jesus Christ. This is known as the Incarnation, where God became fully human while still being fully divine. The Gospel of John states, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." (John 1:14) Jesus is both fully God and fully human, and that through His life, death, and resurrection, He fulfilled God's plan for the salvation of humanity. The Incarnation is considered a central and fundamental belief.

Q…So then God wasn't in heaven anymore but was down here in the flesh
It is important to note that that God is omnipresent, meaning He is present everywhere at all times. So, while Jesus was physically on earth, God's presence was not limited to a specific location but extended beyond earthly boundaries.
During Jesus' earthly ministry, Jesus was not physically present in heaven while simultaneously being physically present on Earth. Instead, Jesus, as the incarnate Son of God, took on human form and dwelt among humanity while His divine nature resided in heaven.
Jesus' incarnation involved the voluntary setting aside of certain divine attributes and limitations in order to become fully human. While Jesus was fully divine, His physical presence on Earth was limited to His human body, and His divine nature remained in heaven.
Therefore, the coexistence of His divine nature in heaven and His human presence on Earth. Jesus, becoming the Son of God, still maintained a spiritual connection with heaven, but His physical body was confined to earth during His time of ministry.
Furthermore, after Jesus' resurrection and ascension, He returned to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father. This affirms that Jesus, as both fully God and fully human, continues to be both divine and present with believers through the Holy Spirit.
The Trinity, the Word (or Logos), which is another term for Jesus, was with God the Father before the incarnation. After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, He returned to heaven and resumed His position at the right hand of God the Father, with a Glorified body instead of just being the Word with God as before. This is seen as a restoration of the intimate relationship and equality that Jesus shared with the Father before His incarnation.
The glorified body that Jesus received after His resurrection signifies His triumph over sin and death. Jesus, in His glorified state, returned to the same position and authority He had with the Father before coming down to Earth.

Q..Can you elaborate more about the concept of " God is omnipresent" and meaning He is present everywhere at all times. So, while Jesus was physically on earth
"God is omnipresent" refers to that God is present everywhere at all times. It means that God, being almighty and beyond human limitations, transcends physical boundaries and is not limited to or confined by any specific location or time. God is not limited as a Human
God who exists in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. So, while Jesus was physically present on Earth, the divine nature of the Son remained in heaven omnipresent, as it is an inherent characteristic of God.
*********************
Q..In the beginning, God and the Word existed in heaven and the only change was that the Word was incarnated and became flesh to reveal himself in Jesus
Yes, that is correct, God the Son, who is often referred to as the Word of God, existed in heaven before becoming incarnate as Jesus. The incarnation is that the eternal and divine Son of God took on human flesh and entered into the human experience as Jesus Christ. This was done in order to reveal God's nature, reconcile humanity with God, and provide salvation for humanity through His life, death, and resurrection. So, while Jesus was fully human, He was also fully God, and through Him, God's character and plan for humanity were made known.
