The Word, I believe, was the spoken word of God by which the Son of Man was begotten by God as the Only-begotten Son of God. This Son of Man was the elect anointed one through whom the Father, God, made all things. Then after they made flesh and after many centuries the Son of Man, still that Word of God, became flesh. This is Jesus. Still though He is both Son of Man and Word of God and both Lord and Christ risen from the dead after the cross. He will always be this Son of Man and Word of God and always human - for us.
