Jesus is also a Zen master. We must acknowledge a certain « genius » in Christianity:
This can be appreciated whether one is among the believers or outside of this community.
This genius lies in allowing, within a single tradition, the experience of spirituality along three axes, three possible perspectives:
1- The Father: uniqueness, the magisterial space
2- The Son: devotion, emotion, closeness, identification
3- The Spirit: inspiring manifestation, permeation of reality
The Christian practitioner moves freely within these three poles.
Of course, these three poles exist within all religions, but a dominant one seems to be present in Christianity; the three realms of spiritual expression are on the same level and cultivated with the same fervor.
Notes & Silence 
And if there are other axes? Or spirituality unaligned with any axis? Is not the genius made restriction?
Being an equal measure of heretic and apostate, I am unsure Jesus existed, save as an idea. Certainly not as recorded by those with axes (visual pun intended; I know the pronunciation varies) to grind. So, he becomes whatever one imagines.

Nice pun.
I mean, I got it, this time.
Why not let go of the rage against political uses of spiritual material.
That is such a waste of energy.
The kingdom, in any case, is not of this world.

To quote the Bible back at you, « Be angry, and sin not… »
I would take that to mean anger has its proper place and use. Or I did so, in my former Christian life.

Yet another case inviting a close look at the Hebrew term translated as ‘angry.’

What if Christ was the Principle, the Process of Consciousness Enlightenment itself,
Would it change a thing?
He would still retain his fully divine and fully human nature.
And even theologians would be satisfied.
