Haribol. If Jesus were to hear our friend frodo, he would tell us the same thing he told his disciples when they tried to say he was god., No he is not the Father, but his mission is the same.
If anyone comes close in Chaitanya Lila to the characteristics of Lord Jesus Christ, it is Haridas Thakur. The similarities are countless, and comparisons to Lord Brahma are also significant, (ie creator, only son of visnu (as in born from the lotus)).
Jesus served in total separation, crying blood in such separation, and for his unwavering service, he is serving without such separation as Haridas. Haridas even discussed with Lord Chaitanya how intolerable separation has become, and was "allowed" to pass prior to the disappearance of Mahaprabhu.
Jesus was not tolerable to his community (the sanhedrin), while haridas was not even allowed to enter the temple of Lord Jagganatha. Both were assaSSINATED BY THE GOVERNMENT who paid religious folks for treachery, both miraculously survived assassination after being declared dead.
Both emphasized the perfection of life is contained in the utterance of the Holy Names of the Supreme Lord.
Many see Lord Brahma as supreme, but Narada Muni discovers that Lord Brahma is subswerviant to a greater Supreme Lord. Similarly, many see Jesus as supreme being, but He denies this, saying that he is under the direction of his Father, doing His Father's bidding.
Lord jESUS IS THE SON OF nARAYANA, and Laxmi as well, whom Mother Mary is a partial incarnation of. Mary's position as Laxmi is confirmed by Srila Prabhupada (I saw the citation, but I have no access, an assist from an archive expert would be handy here.)
