Is Jesus the messiah to you or is He just a good teacher?

Jesus is the Messiah.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was the Creator, He is our Savior, and He will be our Judge.
Under the direction of God, our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ created the earth (John 1:10; Hebrews 1:2).
When Jesus lived on the earth (approximately 2,000 years ago), He led a perfect life. He taught by word and example how people should live in love of God and others.
Through His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and by giving His life on the cross—that is, by performing the Atonement—Jesus Christ saves us from our sins (1 Peter 2:21) as we follow Him. Because of the Atonement, you can be forgiven of your sins when you sincerely repent (Book of Mormon, Mosiah 26:30).
Through His Resurrection, Jesus Christ saved us from death. Because He overcame death, we will all be given the gift of resurrection (Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:22). When life on this earth is over, Jesus Christ will be the final Judge (Acts 17:31; John 5:21–22; Acts 10:42.
I hope this helps. I'd also suggest taking a moment to listen to the words of a current Mormon leader regarding Jesus found in the link below.

Jesus is the Son of God, the Father.
He was and is the Messiah. He came to the earth, lived, taught and then atoned for the sins of the world. He gave his live willingly so that all might have the chance to overcome physical and spiritual death, thru his resurrection and atonement.

He's the messiah. We believe in the Bible and it's accountings of Jesus's life and death.

Yes, we believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
He is Jehovah, the God of Abraham, the God of jacob and Isaac.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God the Eternal Father.
Jesus Christ is the redeemer of all mankind, he is not just a teacher.

We believe in the same reply as Peter gave in Matthew 16. He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
How did Peter know this? "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."
Likewise, we know this by personal revelation.
