The etymology of the word Christ in Sanskrit and Greek is very interesting.
"When an Indian person calls on Krishna, he often says, Krsta. Krsta is a Sanskrit word meaning attraction. So when we address God as Christ, Krsta, or Krishna we indicate the same all-attractive Supreme Personality of Godhead. When Jesus said, 'Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be Thy name', the name of God was Krsta or Krishna."
- AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
If one were to imagine Christ as something larger than an individual man (Jesus) an energy or a consciousness, is it therefore possible one may come to the Father through another vector of that same Christ energy? It may not look *physically* as Jesus did, or rather how we imagine him to have looked.
