Jesus Christ

"You do know that Jesus was just a man."

- Eve

Jesus Christ was a human who became the central figure of Christianity.

Castiel confirmed that Luke from the New Testament was indeed a prophet. Since he is a prophet, and most of his prophetic writings are about Jesus, it is implied that Jesus had supernatural significance. His significance can also be strengthened as Armageddon in the supernatural world was based on the booked of revelations which is the second biblical Christian cannon and Jesus being the central figure of Christianity.

Jesus Christ's symbolic crucifix has been featured many times through rosaries and churches often with an image of him nailed on it.

Lore

 * The angel Joshua seems to have borrowed some of Jesus' traits along with the name. Firstly, of Jesus it is said that he is the only one who has seen the face of God the Father (John 1:18, 6:46), and the show's angel Joshua is the only one who speaks with God (albeit not face to face). Secondly, after Jesus rose from the dead, one of his female disciples did not immediately recognize him and mistook him for a gardener (John 20:15), and in the show, the angel Joshua is called a "gardener". Additionally the name Joshua is reminiscent of Jeshua, the Aramaic name of Jesus.
 * In Christian Theology, including all Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant thought, God has revealed himself to be Trinity (tri-unity) - that is, God is one in being or substance, and simultaneously three in person - the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. The paradox of the Trinity is that God is eternally One and eternally Three, such that that Father is fully God, the Son is fully God, and the Holy Spirit is fully God, and there is only one God, yet the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Spirit, and the Father is not the Spirit. Thus, Jesus (the Son of God born as a man) could pray to God, and yet also be God.

Trivia

 * As has happened with other characters of Christianity, there are some differences between how Jesus is presented in the Christian scriptures and the way he has been mentioned in the series. Whereas in the former he is God or the Son of God, in the latter, he is said (at least by Eve) to have been nothing but a man. Though Jesus has never been depicted in the series, the rise of the religion he found has provided context to some storylines. With the coming of Jesus on Earth, the pagan deities Madge and Edward Carrigan and Vesta lost almost all of their followers, and without sacrifices they were weakened.
 * In the novel Supernatural: Unholy Cause, Judas says that Jesus was no God, while Castiel disagrees.
 * According to the bible, Jesus was pierced by a spear while he was crucified. The spear in question has been found in the cache of the Men of Letters.
 * In O Brother, Where Art Thou ?, Amara is searching for God in a church. After killing the people in there, she looks to a stained glass with an image of Jesus on it. Then she talks to the image, waiting for an answer from God.
