Why Jesus Became Human
Commentators explain that Jesus's incarnation was a deliberate act of solidarity. Because God's 'children' are human ('flesh and blood'), Jesus became human too. As God, He could not die. By taking on a human nature, He could experience death, which was the necessary step to defeat the devil and redeem humanity. This shows both the strategic logic and the immense love behind salvation.
