I personally believe this is false, as I will indicate below. That is, I believe that Jesus did actually intend something like the role that Christians attribute to him. Christians see Jesus as in some sense embodying God. This is based on his teachings and actions, as well as on further discussions within the Christian community. Every account we have of Jesus sees him as playing a role beyond that of a normal teacher.
Different sources express it differently.
However he clearly is a normal human being, who sees God as distinct from himself. The Incarnation looks at Jesus' relationship to God. There is a separate page about the incarnation . At this point, I'm simply going to quote two texts from the New Testament. He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word.
