Blessings to you Vajradhara,
Well, he did restate what is right, but Jesus did not provide the teachings, they were already there from the Old Testement from when Father gave them to Moses. Jesus did help us to understand them better and then gave us the ability to internalize them... mostly through his crucifixion... that's where he showed us how to defeat Satan and self... and then of course...his resurrection. Hense "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live...yet not I but Christ lives in me..." Gal. 2.20
Since the Christian base line is the Bible, that's where Christians learn what God requires of us... most of all to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God. Micah 6.8 ... but the Bible also makes it clear that we need a download of God Himself to even want to do righteously...out of many scriptures that provide that info, here is one..."For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure." Philippians 2.13. I have never found righteous behavior something that I could do in my own strength. It's hateful, and selfish behavior that comes naturally.
The Bible declares that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are One, and in Colosians 1.27 it says "Christ in you is the hope of glory" from this I say Jesus' Spirit indwells the believer...his Holy Spirit.
But this is quite a bit off topic. Are Krishna and Christ the same person? Not according to the Bible.
i beg to differ. Jesus most certainly provided teachings on how a Christian should conduct themselves and so forth. depending on one's particular theological tradition, it is the Holy Spirit that indwells the human, not Jesus, per se.
