"It means that Jesus is the embodied, living breathing Word of God. What do you think it means?"

Pretty much what you say, here. But it doesn't mean the Bible is Jesus or that Jesus is the Bible.

Of course not, Jesus is the complete Word, whereas the Torah and the Writings and the NT are the Word recorded for revelation. Jesus is the complete revelation of the Word, so He is the Book, the complete Bppk of the Word of the Lord. I see in another answer that you believe Protestants "worship" the bible. We worship the Father and the Son, who is the Word of God. We have respect for the Word of God in the written Word. You might or might not know, that the Jews have so much respect that they will bury a Torah scroll that has been damaged, but they certainly do not "worship" it, nor do we.
