For me, the point of the death of Jesus is...

#1 That in truth there IS no death. (That "death" is not the end. That a man is not his body.)

#2 That anything is forgivable when you fully realize #1 at the deepest level.

#3 That we would do well to follow his example, realize that there is no death, and forgive both ourselves and others for whatever painful things have occurred in the process of living Life here as we know it.

For me, Jesus is not to be worshipped...he is to be emulated in one's own outward conduct and one's own inner self, to the best of one's ability. He (among others) was the living demonstration of the Way, the Truth, and the Life, also called the Tao and various other words in other cultures.
