Could be that Jesus is man, and was kind of sent as... Well, a "mediator." It is a lot easier to wrap our minds around the concept of a fellow human than an all-powerful, cosmic God. Maybe?
Edit: I've been thinking about it some more, and... Well, according to the Bible, believing in Jesus as the Savior is the requirement for getting into heaven. I've never heard of anyone believing in Jesus but not "God"; plenty of people, however, believe in God and not Jesus.

I agree...The Bible teaches that sin separates us from God. God is righteous and cannot tolerate sin because he is without sin. (Which is why he seems so angry and judgemental in the old testament.) Jesus was sent as the mediator to take all sin upon himself for those who believe in Him and repent, confessing their sins and making a change in their lives, to bring humankind back into a right relationship with God the Father. Taking their sin.
The reason the emphasis is on Jesus, is because he is the Saviour. The one to make man right before God. He's the mediator.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
