Jesus is recognized as King because God has given Him the throne of His father David, and He reigns forever (Luke 1:32-33).
Scripture affirms that Jesus is the King of kings, a title profoundly emphasized in Luke 1:32-33 where the angel declares that the Lord God shall give Him the throne of David, and His reign will have no end. This is significant not just in a historical sense but in a theological context, wherein Jesus embodies both God and man. As the son of David, He fulfills the Old Testament prophecies concerning the everlasting Kingdom. Furthermore, Acts 2:30 reinforces this by stating that God has raised Jesus to sit on His throne, establishing Him not merely as a king, but as the supreme ruler over all. His sovereignty encompasses heaven, earth, and the affairs of men, ensuring that nothing happens without His divine will.
