3 And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.

Jesus is the son of God, the Messiah to Israel, and the now resurrected Lord Christ to the Christian who sits at the right hand of God as second in command and is the head of the Church that is called the body of Christ.
This shows how confused the Unitarians are about the plan and work of salvation of God. The Unitarian holds to an over-simplistic hyper-literalist reading of scripture that misses the love and nuances reflected in God's gift to humanity. It is too bad that this simplistic hyper-literalist misconception of scripture has so greatly overtaken some people's conception of scripture that they cannot properly behold the love of God.
I missed this. The Unitarian heresy examines the passages about the divinity of Christ within a modalist heresy instead of a orthodox understanding of the Triune nature of the Godhead. So they appear to jump from one heresy to another while accumulating more destructive doctrines to go alongside their heretical path.
The image or message posted misses the poetic fulfillment of the imagery of Abraham's scenario of obedience in offering up his son as a sacrifice if God required it. If Jesus were not the divine incarnated, he would just have been another human dying as a martyr. But the Unitarian does not understand that problem in their doctrinal stance.
