How do we know that Jesus is the true King?

Answered in 8 sources

The events surrounding His crucifixion and the title given to Him confirm Jesus as the true King, as recognized by both His followers and His accusers.

The title 'King of the Jews' given to Jesus by Pontius Pilate represents a divine truth. Despite the mockery from the soldiers, this title was a declaration of His true authority and was meant to stand despite objections from the Jewish leaders. The permanence of this title, emphasized by Pilate's refusal to change it, highlights the sovereignty of God over human actions. This is further supported by the acknowledgment from the centurion, who declared Jesus to be a righteous man, reflecting the truth of His kingship as portrayed in scripture, particularly in Matthew 27:54.
