How do we know that Jesus is the promised King?

The Scriptures played a crucial role in identifying Jesus as the promised King. Prophesies about His coming were made centuries prior, exemplified in Matthew 21, where His entry into Jerusalem on a colt fulfilled ancient prophecies. This connection to Old Testament writings provides undeniable evidence of His messianic identity. Faithful eyewitness accounts and the harmony of God's Word throughout the Old and New Testaments confirm that Jesus is indeed the Christ, fulfilling every detail foretold by the prophets. Without the Scriptures, we would lack the foundational understanding of who Jesus is.
