Brother Man's Symbolism (revealed)

In the book Brother Man by Roger Mais, the main character John Power alias Bra' Man is a big symbol. In terms of symbolism Bra' Man is a symbol of Jesus. Even on the book cover the picture of Bra' Man looks like Jesus and in the book his actions are like Jesus too. Just like Jesus Bra' Man lives a simple life. He puts others before himself without any regret just like Christ. Even when the same people whom he had helped and prayed for turned on him and insulted him, taunted and beat him, his heart was too big to get angry with them and he easily forgave them and still wanted to help them, just like who?... just like Christ.
