The Bible portrays Christ as the eternal King who rules with justice and righteousness, fulfilling the prophecies of the Old Testament.
The Scriptures reveal Christ as the eternal King who reigns at the right hand of God, echoing the anointing of David in 2 Samuel 2:4-7. In Jeremiah 23:5, we see the promise of a righteous branch from David, who will execute judgment and bring salvation to His people. The New Testament affirms this in passages that declare Jesus as king, illustrating His divine authority and sovereign rule over all creation. He is not only a king but also functions as our priest and prophet, interceding for His people and delivering them from sin.
