How do we know Jesus is the King?

Jesus’ kingship is confirmed throughout scripture. In Revelation 19:16, He is described as 'King of kings and Lord of lords,' emphasizing His supreme authority over all rulers and powers. This designation is not merely ceremonial; it indicates His active, sovereign rule in the affairs of men and His authority over creation. The fulfillment of this kingship can be traced back to old Testament prophecies and culminates in His reign over the new covenant people, the church, which He governs as the risen Lord. As believers, we recognize this kingship through the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, confirming Him as the sovereign Lord to whom we owe our allegiance.
