What does it mean that Jesus and the Father are one?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Jesus shares the same divine essence and authority with the Father.

When Jesus states 'I and my Father are one' in John 10:30, He is affirming His divine nature and unity with God the Father. This oneness implies that they are one in essence, authority, and purpose. In the context of the Trinity, it signifies that Jesus possesses the same divine attributes as the Father, such as omniscience, omnipotence, and eternality. The relationship is not merely functional but ontological, indicating that Jesus is fully God, called God in Hebrews 1:8. This unity also means that Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God to humanity, as seen in John 14:9, where He asserts that seeing Him is the same as seeing the Father.
