Was Jesus Uniquely "Great"?

When I consider all that Jesus taught,
proclaimed, consistently rehearsed,
about the God of Israel,
his mercies and his grace
towards both sinner and the saint,
and how H-Shem requires his chosen ones,
his would-be faithful sons,
to focus on displaying charity,
especially unto their lowly kin
 
and also what this Nazorean did for those
who were deprived of justice, kindness, health
and hope,
or suffered from the grave effects
of what their leaders did
to please their Roman overlords,
 
I cannot help but to begin
to find that Jesus is among the best
of men who’ve ever  walked
upon the God blessed earth.
 
I also note that those who for his sake endured
excruciating martyrdoms
gave witness to the fact
that it’s not only Jesus who withstood
and then forgave, without retort,
or giving like for like,
the grudge born insults that they each received
from those who thought
that following the Servant’s call
to bless, not curse their persecuting enemies
was something that within the light
of how much evil’s in the world
was foolishness, and quite naive.
