Jesus was a spiritually anointed servant of God, which Jews call Jehovah and Jesus called "Our Father." And he was a "sacrificial lamb" who martyred himself willingly to culminate his teachings on love, forgiveness, tolerance, compassion, and pacifism.

Jesus was not "born of a virgin," not "God Incarnate" or "God Himself," and it was not he who said he was. It was his followers, despite the fact that Jesus himself had said: "God is greater than I," and "You have not heard the voice of God or seen God's shape at any time."

And Jesus is now a spirit-soul in heaven with God, and perhaps even the Over-Soul or Ancient One, which when alive he spoke as and for, saying "Before Abraham was, I am."
