There are many quotes where Jesus spoke about the union of all people within him and within god. This is basically the same as the Buddhist concept of Indra's Net: the divine unity and mutual interpenetration of all things.
>"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus"
>"I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me."
>"For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ."
This idea seems to be the logical basis for many of his more commonly known teachings:
>"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you."
>“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
>"whatsoever you do to the least of your brothers and sisters, you do unto me"
This last quote seems to indicate that when people realized all of the above, they would also realize their equality with jesus as children of god; which is essentially blasphemy to the modern day mainstream interpretation of the King James translation.
>"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
