How do you read the quotation? Does it not say that God through his word made Jesus?
***Actually, that’s not how I read the quotation or Kolo’s question. Jesus Himself was not ‘made’; the flesh was made

No; the quote by Kolo from Justin Martyr states that Jesus was made flesh through the word of God. If one considers that God is the Trinity, what is the problem? The word of God? John says that Jesus is the Word of God. Jesus made himself flesh? I find no problem or question here. The mystery of the HOW will stand presumably until we stand in front of Him, certainly. If one considers that the statement points to the flesh and not Jesus, there is no controversy.
