    I’m not abjectly religious but I don’t believe Jesus ever called himself the Messiah.

      No, but this is pretty culty… Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

        Generally he referred to himself as the son of man, but there were instances of other references: “before Abraham was, I am” might not make a lot of sense to us but the Jews understood this to be a direct claim to divinity, and calling God his Father riled them up too because in their understanding that made him equal with God.
