Being united with his Father is the same unity he expressed with his disciples...
John 17:20-22...
"I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word, 21 so that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one."
Are the disciples God too?
The disciples are the body of Christ, the temple of God. They become sons of God by adoption. The body of Christ is to be united with the head in marriage, and they will all exist within the kingdom of God. It is not possible to enter the kingdom, says Jesus, unless we are born again of His Spirit.
