To me, and when we speak of interpretations we are always speaking in rgeards to yourselves, the role of Jesus in the New Covenant is clear:
He is the Lord, Our Salvation, Our Redeemer and Our Judge, he is our heavenly Bother, He and God are one, you can't have one without the other, God works through Jesus and Jesus is, for all intents and purposes, God, though he is NOT God (YHWH), he is the Son of God, the ONLY SOn Of GOd, the living Word of God, in perfect union with the Father.
All the God was in the old covenant, Jesus is and THROUGH HIM, and not the laws and traditions of the Old Covenant, do we reach God and our Salvation.
