How are God and Jesus one?

OK biz-

“By calling God his Father, Jesus claims a status of divine Sonship for himself. The three Persons of the Trinity equally possess the same fullness of divine life and Being. Although the Son is less than the Father in his humanity (14:28), he is equal to the Father in his divinity. (10:33) (CCC 253-54).”

Although, this is a mystery that we cannot fully understand in this life, I found that this passage described the relationship in a way that makes it a little more understandable. Maybe it will for you too!

In Christ,

One more thing. When the Father is seen as He is in-Himself, He is simply God, but when seen as begetting another, He is the Father. Jesus, in-Himself is God, but when seen as being begotten of another, He is the Son. Thus the persons of the Trinity are distinct only by their relationships with another. This is why it is said that Jesus is one with the Father in terms of essence or nature, and hence they are one in terms of power and glory.
