Answered in 1 source
Jesus being the 'King of the Jews' implies His sovereign authority and the fulfillment of God's promise to His people.
The title 'King of the Jews,' as inscribed over the cross (John 19:19), reflects Jesus' royal status, confirming that He is indeed the Messiah. This designation has profound implications, as it asserts His sovereign authority not only over Israel but also over all creation. It signifies that Jesus fulfills the Old Testament prophecies concerning the Davidic line and the kingdom of God. The preacher notes that Jesus is not only the king for the Jews but for all believers who are considered spiritual Jews. This reinforces the concept of His universal kingship, calling all who trust in Him to recognize His rule over their lives and to submit to His authority as the one who brings salvation and eternal life. Understanding Jesus in this light deepens our faith and commitment to Him as our sovereign Lord.
