When the angels said, ‘O Mary, Allah gives you the good news of a Word from Him whose name is Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, distinguished in the world and the Hereafter and one of those brought near [to Allah].
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 45
45. "(Remember) when the angels said: ' O' Mary! Verily Allah gives you the glad tidings with a Word from Him whose name shall be Christ, Jesus, son of Mary; eminent in this world and the Hereafter, and of those nearest (to Allah),"
In the Qur'an, Jesus is nominated to /kalimah/ (word) which, in the Qur'anic texts, has been used in the sense of a 'creature', One example is its application in Surah Al-Kahf. No.18. Verse 109, where it says:
Here, 'words' has been rendered into 'creatures'. The commendation 'held in honour in this world and the Hereafter' has been used in the Qur'an only for Jesus (as) and, thus, none else is qualified by it throughout the Qur'an,

1. The position of a woman elevates so high that Allah talks to her by the way of angels,

3. Jesus (as) is not a son of Allah but he is a creature of Allah:
How can be the son of Allah the one who was borne from Mary and had passed the foetal course!
4. A child is a bounty,
