Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah or the Son of God, as the Quran states that He is just a Messenger of Allah.

The Quran does recognize Jesus as the Word and the Spirit of Allah, but it fails to provide any direct statements from Jesus affirming these titles. For instance, while the Quran mentions that Jesus is a Messenger of God, it does not quote Him saying, 'I am the Messiah' or 'I am the Son of God.' This absence raises questions about the completeness of the Islamic portrayal of Jesus. Additionally, the New Testament presents Jesus explicitly identifying Himself as the Messiah. In passages such as Matthew 16:16, Peter declares Jesus as the Christ, and Jesus affirms this identity. Moreover, throughout the Gospels, Jesus refers to God as His Father, which implies a unique relationship that aligns with the Christian understanding of the Trinity. The Quran also does not provide instances where Jesus denies being the Messiah or the Son of God, nor does it quote Allah addressing Jesus as the Messiah. This omission suggests a lack of clarity in the Islamic texts regarding Jesus' true identity. The Christian doctrine holds that Jesus' role as the Messiah is foundational to understanding His mission and the salvation He offers. In conclusion, while the Quran acknowledges Jesus' significant role, it does not provide the necessary affirmations that are central to Christian theology. The New Testament offers a comprehensive view of Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God, which is essential for understanding the Christian faith.
