How is Jesus viewed in Sikhism?

Biblical Background

(From Sikh understanding), Jesus is acknowledged as a holy teacher and prophet who revealed divine truth. Sikh scriptures (Guru Granth Sahib) do not mention Jesus, but Sikh teachings respect religious leaders who guide humanity toward God.

Historical Context

Sikhism emerged in a context influenced by Hindu and Islamic ideas. Sikh educators often speak positively of Jesus' humility, sacrifice, and devotion to God.

Theological Meaning

Sikhs reject the idea of Jesus as the unique Son of God or incarnate deity. Sikhism affirms one God and emphasizes meditation, truth, and righteousness. Jesus is respected as a spiritual teacher but not worshiped as divine. Salvation in Sikhism focuses on union with God through devotion and righteous living.
