It's certainly weird inside the "woo woo" mythology of the show, but it's not all that weird from a narrative point of view. Jack is still the "main character" and the nominal leader of the group. Links to Jack are of high narrative value (higher than a link to, say, Rose, for instance). And the easiest way for the writers to link a character to Jack
but not have Jack know about the link is to go through Christian.
What's weirder, IMO, is the overtly, well, Christian overtones of the name "Christian Shepherd".
