PROSE

John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son...
John chapter 1 clearly describes the that existence of the Lord Jesus Christ has always been with the Heavenly Father before time, forever. In Genesis chapter 4 we read of the the story of the first two sons of Adam; Cain and Abel. Cain was very jealous of his brother because of Abel's blood sacrifices were pleasing unto God and his were not. Perhaps God was much pleased because Abel's offerings were and type and shadow of the supreme sacrifice suffered by the Lord thousands of years later.
Genesis chapter 4:8, And Cain talked with Abel his brother: And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Abel is dead. God came down to visit Cain for a reason. He, the creator of all living, was summoned. Life was living without a host. Such wasn't the order of God's creation. John 1:3-4 says: Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. Life was made to be inside of an embodiment.
Genesis 4:9 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?" 10 And He said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me from the ground.
It is established that this inquiry of Abel's death must be avenged. God came down. Psalm 9:2, When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
For the humiliation and execution of Abel, the sin of Cain was punished. Instead of eternal punishment of sin by mankind the Lord was humiliated and executed in His set time to favor Zion, we the church, in the distant future. Psalm 102:13, Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
Hebrews 9:14, How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? A great innumerable much more! We can only imagine, appreciate and the supreme sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, His shed blood which freely gives all the entitlement to forgiveness and the remission sins through belief and faith. Hebrews 9:22 says; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
The Lord God Came Down.
