We know Jesus is King because Scripture affirms His royal identity and His sovereign rule established at His resurrection and ascension.
The evidence of Jesus' kingship is rooted in scriptural promises and declarations—He was recognized as the King of the Jews upon His birth and through His ministry. The angels heralded His arrival, and Pilate's sign at the crucifixion reiterated this identity. Moreover, Hebrews 1:8 states, 'Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever,' indicating His eternal reign. His resurrection confirmed His authority and victory, as He ascended to sit at the right hand of God, reigning over all creation. Additionally, Philippians 2:9-11 underscores that every knee will bow and confess His Lordship, affirming His kingship universally.
