Not claiming this makes sense, but(in traditional Christian belif) Jesus is not a distinct entity from God.
God is one being made up of:
the father(the being you are refering to as Christian god in your comment),
the son(jesus, who is gods humansona but the father does not stop existing when Jesus mode is active, and Jesus has always exsisted i.e.he wasn’t created when he was born, and will always exist)
and the holy spirit (god’s spiritual power or force e.g in an exorcism it’s the holy spirit that actually casts the deamon out ).
these are all ‘aspects’ of a single being, to reference St.Patrick its like how a shamrock has 3 leaves but they make up one plant

“I’m gonna stop ya right there, Patrick. Yeah, hold yer horses, Patrick. You’re about to confess ‘partialism.’”
“Partialism?”
“Yes partialism, a heresy which asserts that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not distinct persons of the Godhead but are different parts of God, each composing one third of the divine.”
“And who confesses the heresy of partialism?”
“The first season of the cartoon program Voltron where five robot lion cars merge together to form one giant robot samurai, obviously.”
It was a fine explanation, lol, it’s just that the theology here doesn’t really make much sense outside the world of Christian theology. Any attempt to simplify it for explanation runs into one “heresy” or another.

From this funny video about the theology of the Trinity.
Damnit!! I knew I’d forgotten something, told myself it was a good enough explanation.
