By this statement
you seem to be implying that Jesus and God are one and the same entity (which entails that they cannot have different qualities).
You misunderstand me, Rayaan. Jesus was a human being. So he can't be a pure metaphor. Let's say I speak of George Washington as the paragon of honesty. When I say this boy is a George Washington, I'm using that President's name as a metaphor. But George Washington is not a pure metaphor because there was a chap by that name.
Christian tradition also has it that Jesus is God. So, Jesus can also be used as a metaphor for goodness if you follow the Christian tradition.

Can't you guess? Surely you don't want me to spell it out?
