Best Answer

Christians believe Jesus was the Jewish Messiah and the son of God, therefore he is the center of their beliefs. Muslims believe Jesus was a great and wise prophet, but not divine and not as important as their main prophet, Muhammad. Both recognize Judaism as the root of their respective religions.
