The "we" and the "us" in this verse are God's 3 personalities or self expressions. The early church fathers thought of God as an actor wearing 3 character masks, one for the Father, one for the Son, and one for the Holy Spirit. The character mask of Jesus, then, is the way God speaks to us and saves us.
Let's state it plainly: The character an actor plays and the actor are one and the same person. This makes Jesus, as God's character, God.
This fact has been in the Bible all along, but few have understood it. But now that we do, let's not reject it. If we do our minds will remain in darkness, and we will never know God as our Savior. He is Jesus, the way God speaks to us.
