Jesus wasn't perfect, he was a righteous man though, a very clever and selfless one (and not everyone is blessed with his intelligence or enough clarity to be selfless). We must follow his lead the same way he followed/was inspired by previous prophets.

Ofc if you believe in Jesus, "the anthropomorphic deity part of a tripartite pantheon" instead of Jesus the wandering rabbi, things start getting messy. Sorry if I'm triggering, I don't mean to be but I know anyone who believes in anything in earnest might be.
