This is one way i've come to think about it: Considering the limited capability of the human form, God cannot fully manifest himself in it. So while Jesus was/is God, his body could not support the entirety of God at one time. He can, however download and access anything he needs into the form, just not all at one time. So Jesus could draw on the vast knowledge and power of "himself" (God) and use what he needed when he needed it. A reasonable example of this would be Rommie from the TV show Andromeda. Rommie is the Avatar of the ship Andromeda. She is an android but she is the ship, but seperate from the ship's intelligence in key ways. She can access any part of the ship, from memory, tactical data, and can control physical aspects of the ship like open doors. However she is not fully Andromeda, because the entirety of what Andromeda is (memory storage capability, form, function, etc all in one) Rommie is not capable of being/experiencing at any one singular instance. In this way she is her own being, but still the warship Andromeda.

It may be a corny reference, but it seems to fit the bill pretty well. Jesus is the avatar of God, thus he is God.

Clearer?
