Basically, if you sent the message directly, any internet middlemen can read what you send, encryption is like making a secret code that only you and your friend know, you type the message in normal human language, the computer changes it to the secret code and then once your friend’s computer receives it, it changes it back to normal text, there is no way for anyone to read your messages except you and your friend.
