   Hm... yes. But he's still a really big patron (40 pts?) and he was around   
   quite a lot (40 * 3 = 120 pts). The problem is that Jesus had a pretty   
   nasty Destiny (-15 is the worst it can get, though), and a Duty to all   
   of mankind. Or to God. Or both.   
      
   And then there's the issue of whether he conquered death by himself or   
   God ressurected him, and if those are actually different things. I don't   
   think the GURPS rules can deal with something like the trinity.   
   (Although you never know if there's something suitable in an obscure   
   source book somewhere.)
