In this passage from the Qur'an Jesus (Isa) makes clear that the one God (Allah) has given Jesus wisdom to share and the right to correct where those are disobedient. He warns against waiting for correction and assures those who are in faithful obedience to God of being rewarded in God's garden.
Surah 43:63-70
And when Isa came with clear arguments, he said: I have come to you indeed with wisdom, and that I may make clear to you part of what you differ in; so be careful of (your duty to) Allah and obey me:
Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is the right path.
But parties from among them differed, so woe to those who were unjust because of the chastisement of a painful day.
Do they wait for aught but the hour, that it should come upon them all of a sudden while they do not perceive?
The friends’ shall on that day be enemies one to another, except those who guard (against evil).
O My servants! There is no fear for you this day, nor shall you grieve.
Those who believed in Our communications and were submissive.
Enter the garden, you and your wives; you shall be made happy.
