Jesus is a prophet in Islam??

I never understood this. Perhaps a Muslim can explain it to me.

How can you consider Jesus a prophet, and at the same time totally disregard his teachings. Why don't you look at your book of "Eisa" or whatever you call it. It's not in the Koran (probably for a purpose!).

Jesus calls himself God's only son. How can someone you call a prophet say something like this, which should be considered blasphemous to you? ...
