a hypothetical question

The hypothetical doesn't assume that Jesus=God, it says to assume that Jesus existed. Assuming Jesus is also God is one of those additional assumptions you'd have to have clarified which makes this a far less interesting question than whether to save Hitler or not.

As for saving Jesus/God so he can experience a human life and gain compassion for our suffering, isn't an additional assumption about this God (in addition to Jesus=God) that he is omniscient? Thus he would know the human experience regardless of whether he actually lived it and saving Jesus in order to save god and impart human experience on him is pointless. He already knows everything. He's already experienced everything.
