I can go along with that. Also the Lamb of God, I AM, and the Word.

When I first became a Christian, the thing that came to me is that He came to save the world. Zola Levitt (a Messianic Jew) compared Him to a Passover Lamb.
He was God made into a human (hence Son of Man). He is the Unblemished Lamb who died for our sins in our place.

"But from now on THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND of the power OF GOD."
And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?" And He said to them, "Yes, I am."

christ comes from the greek wrood chritos meaning annointed, jesus was the anointed of God by the spirit of God. he was the logos the visible part of god, the firstborn over all creation, the only begotten of the father, a created being by God the father before time, who took on the nature of God. He is the only way to the father and the only way to take part in the ressurection on the last day.

An old retelling of the Persian God Mithras' life?
A fictional story about a great Magi?
The greatest initiate into the Mystery Schools of Egypt and India?
