Article 2: AND IN JESUS CHRIST, HIS ONLY SON, OUR LORD
By attributing to Jesus the divine title "Lord", the first confessions of the Church's faith affirm from the beginning that the power, honour and glory due to God the Father are due also to Jesus, because "he was in the form of God",[65] and the Father manifested the sovereignty of Jesus by raising him from the dead and exalting him into his glory.[66]
