The Father and Jesus are one in the sense that Jesus and the Church are one.

But the Father is greater then the Son.

The Father and the Son have life in themselves.
But when the Son was born of a virgin he set aside his immortality so that he co
uld experience the grave like all humans (unconsciousness after death)...otherwi
se it would not have been a true sacrifice if he simply left his body and went t
o the Father while the physical body died.
No, he shed his blood in which was the life he had with the Father so that that
divine life/blood could cleanse all men.
After his life/blood left him he experienced death/hell/grave like all humans...
.but the Father was still in heaven with life in Himself, and after 3 days he re
vived Jesus the Christ so that his same physical body rose from the grave/hell.
He was no longer flesh and blood because he shed his blood for all
is in the blood: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I
to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is
t makes atonement for the soul," (Lev. 17:11). See also, Gen. 9:4;
and John 6:53-54.

Deut. 12:23;

He was now immortalized/glorified flesh and bone...the life of the Father immort
alized his physical body.
He was still flesh, but it was spiritualized flesh (different then corruptible f
lesh)...it was an incorruptable fleshly spiritual body (not subject to natural/p
hysical laws), not a corruptible fleshly body subject to physical laws.
He was not raised as a spirit because a spirit does not have flesh and bone (Luk
e 24:39).
Corruptiple flesh and blood can't enter heaven (1 Cor. 15:50), but glorified/spi
ritualized flesh and bone can enter heaven:
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is rai
sed an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is s
own in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised
a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body," (
1 Cor. 15:42-44).
The fullness of God is in Christ: This explains why Paul said in Col. 2:9, "For
in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form." And also, 1 Tim. 2:5 t
hat says, "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the
man Christ Jesus."
Question: "After His resurrection, why did Jesus tell Mary not to touch Him, but
later tell Thomas to touch Him?"
Answer: Jesus tells Mary, Touch Me not (John 20:17, KJV); but then later, speaki
ng to Thomas, He says, Reach hither thy finger and behold My hands; and reach hit
her thy hand, and thrust it into My side (verse 27). The seeming incongruity of J
esus statements is resolved when we examine the language Jesus employed and consi
der the basic difference between the two situations.
In John 20:17, the word translated touch is a Greek word which means to cling to,
to lay hold of. This wasn t just a touch; it was a grip. Obviously, when Mary recog

nized Jesus, she immediately clung to Him. Matthew 28:9 records the other women
doing the same thing when they saw the resurrected Christ.
Mary s reaction was motivated, possibly, by several things. One is simply her lov
ing devotion to the Lord. Mary is overwhelmed by the events of the morning, and
as her grief turns to joy, she naturally embraces Jesus. Another motivation is M
ary s desire to restore the fellowship that death had broken. She had lost Him onc
e, and she was going to make sure she didn t lose Him again she wanted to keep Jesus
with her always. Also, Mary may have been thinking that this was the fulfillmen
t of Jesus promise to return (John 14:3), in which case He would take her (and al
l believers) with Him to heaven.
However, it was not Jesus plan to stay in this world always, and His resurrectio
n was not to be seen as His promised return. That is why He tells Mary of the as
cension. His plan was to ascend to the Father and then send the Holy Spirit (Joh
n 16:7; 20:22; Acts 2:1-4). Fellowship with Jesus would continue, but it would b
e a spiritual communion, not a physical presence.
In loosening Mary s hold on Him, Jesus was, in effect, saying this: I know you des
ire to keep Me here, always present with you. I know you want everything to be j
ust the same as before I died. But our relationship is about to change. I m going
to heaven, and you will have the Comforter in My place. You need to start walkin
g by faith, Mary, not by sight.
When Jesus spoke to Thomas, it was not to counter a misplaced desire but to reb
uke a lack of faith. Thomas had said he would not believe until he had touched t
he living body of Jesus (John 20:25). Jesus, knowing all about Thomas s declaratio
n, offered His body as living proof of His resurrection. This was something He d
id on another occasion as well (Luke 24:39-40).
So, both Mary and Thomas needed more faith. Mary needed faith enough to let Jes
us go. Thomas needed faith enough to believe without empirical proof. Mary neede
d to loosen her grip; Thomas needed to strengthen his. The resurrected Christ ga
ve both of them the faith they needed.
