No, Jesus was not a metaphor! He was (and is, and will always continue to be) a real, living Person who not only inhabited history as reported so thoroughly in history's most influential and significant collection of books -- the Holy Scriptures, or Bible -- but pre-existed human history (as a member of the Triune Godhead, which The Bible teaches exists without beginning and without end, without being constrained by time and space).
The Bible teaches that Jesus created all that is; that He was born of a virgin, lived and died in first century Palestine; was resurrected by His Father from the dead; and lives now to intercede for us at the right hand of the Father.
Metaphors in Scripture are mostly obvious. For instance, "at the right hand of the Father" is probably metaphorical, since we know that God is spirit (and spirit does not, literally, have a right hand). Right hand is therefore metaphorical. But the Person, Jesus Christ, just as clearly is not.
