As Russ said Christians accept Jesus as their Saviour and follow his teachings just as Buddhists accept Buddha as their saviour and follow his teachings. His nationality does not affect that fact.

Jesus offered the people of the time a fresh perspective to that offered by the priests, who clung to the letter of the scriptures rather than to their spirit.

He offered a way of living embracing respect for God, self-sacrifice, forgiveness, tolerance, helping others and many other virtues. He did not claim his religion to be the best but offered all the people he encountered the opportunity to embrace the values he advocated and to live by them.
