"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men." John 1:1-3
"He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not." John 1:10
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." John 1:14
"No one has ever seen God. Yet God the One and Only, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known." John 1:18
The Evangelist clearly illustrates that whereas the disciples' sonship was something derived through faith in Jesus Christ, Jesus is the eternal Son of God, the Agent of Creation and the only perfect Revelation of God to man.
In fact, the only way one can enter into a relationship with God as a loving Father is to embrace Jesus Christ as the divine unique Son of God:
"He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:11-13
Finally, Jesus does not say, "I am ascending to OUR Father and OUR God." Instead, Christ clearly makes a distinction between his relationship and the disciples' relationship with the Father. It should also be pointed out that at the Incarnation the Father and the Son entered into a new relationship. At the Incarnation, Christ became a servant of the Father. As such, the Father became Jesus' God. The Father was not always Jesus' God, but became such when the eternal Word became flesh. Christ did this in order that we might become what he already was and continues to be, namely sons of the Most High.
