The main takeaway from Jesus is his message. It's important to note that people's beliefs form their own reality. For example when Jesus did the whole fishes and loaves thing, he probably didn't multiply all that food. But the people listening to him believed in him and found it in themselves to share their food with the people who didn't have any. So it seemed like a miracle. When Jesus "healed lepers" it's because he treated them like people. A lot of the homeless are literally crazy because people ignore them, but if you take the effort to treat them like real people, then they act like normal people.
However, I agree there isn't a way to explain the resurrection. But that's the difference between Christians and non-Christians. You don't have to believe in the resurrection and that's a perfectly valid standpoint. But I really think it's an injustice to treat Jesus as a magic man when he really just wanted everyone to love each other. The people around him believed he was really the son of God and maybe that's simply because they had never received the unconditional love and respect Jesus would show them.
