    Day 51. Why is Jesus called the Father’s “only Son”? (2026)

    Today is day 51 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the fifth line: “His only Son, our Lord” and studying question 51. 51. Why is Jesus called the Father’s “only Son”? Jesus alone is God the Son, coequal and coeternal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He alone is the image of the invisible Father, the one who makes the Father known. He is now and forever will be incarnate as a human, bearing his God-given human Name. The Father created and now rules all things in heaven and earth through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Psalm 2:7–12; John 1:14–18; Colossians 1:13–15; Hebrews 1:1–5; see also Athanasian Creed) We will conclude today with The Collect for the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ found on page 600 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

(Genesis 3:16–4:26; Psalm 51:3–5; Romans 3:23; 5:12; 7:14–25) We will conclude today with The Collect for The Fourth Sunday of Epiphany found on page 602 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
