Post Equal with Lord Jesus?!?

During my bible study I was reading reference verses listed in my NKJV about the word "salvation" and Romans 8:29 says:

"For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren."

I then went to Hebrews 2:11, an additional refrence verse, it says:

"For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren"

I cannot comprehend ever being on equal footing with Lord Jesus, so I would figure that it means his children, but the word "brethren" throws a monkey wrench in that thought.

Anyone care to share thoughts on this?
