Peace be upon him: Was Jesus a Prophet?

Assalamu alaikum - I was thinking about Jesus (peace be upon him) and how the Bible itself seems to present him as a prophet, not God. Here are some points I noticed, trying to stick to what the text says and keeping it simple: - God sent prophets who were ordinary humans, so it makes sense to expect the coming messenger to be a prophet too. - If Jesus were meant to be God, there should be clear, unambiguous evidence in the scriptures rather than strained interpretations. I don’t see that clear evidence. - He performed miracles, just like other prophets. - He looked and acted like a human being. - He prostrated and prayed to God, for example: “he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” (Matthew 26:39) That sounds like a servant praying to God. - He said his mission was for a particular people at a particular time: “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24). That sounds like a prophetic mission with a specific audience, not universal divinity. - He said he could do nothing by himself and was sent by God: “By myself I can do nothing… for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.” (John 5:30) - After healing the blind man, people called him a prophet (John 9:17). - He said, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3). The wording separates the ONLY true God from Jesus, whom God sent. - He refers to God as his God: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” (John 20:17). Can God have a God? That doesn’t line up with the idea of Jesus being God. - The text calls him a mediator between God and mankind: “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” If he is a mediator, that fits the role of a human prophet acting on God’s behalf. Putting these together: he appears as a human who prays, worships, is sent by God, calls God the only true God, and acts as a guide for a particular people. That aligns with the understanding that he was a prophet who called people to worship one God. To me, that seems consistent with the message of earlier scriptures too - the message of worshiping one God. What do you think? JazakAllah khair for reading.
