Christians believe he is God made flesh...."in the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God and the Word was God and the Word became flesh and dwelt among men..." There is also some theological discussions regarding the creation of man; ..."He created man in his own image..." not that we (humanity) were created to look like God, but that our spirit, soul whatever you want to call it was what made us in his image, i.e. Spiritual beings. If this holds true, and men are spiritually made in the image of God and if The Word (Who is God), became flesh and dwelt among men - then yes he was a spiritually enlightened being. Which all humanity would be as well, or might eventually be. This, however is one theological supposition. Was Jesus a Zombie? Not in the George A Romero style. Christians believe he died and was resurrected 3 days later, before ascending (returning to the spiritual realm.). Although prior to his death he did symbolize the eating of his flesh and drinking of his blood in remembrance of him. There is that.
