What does the Bible say about Jesus as our King?

The Bible presents Jesus Christ as the sovereign King who leads and protects His people, illustrating this through figures such as King David. Just as David was recognized as the leader of Israel even when Saul was king, Christ has always been the King of His people, even when they were unaware of it. This is exemplified in passages like John 17, where Christ prays for His followers, highlighting His role as our Shepherd and King who knows and cares for us, guiding us even when we did not know Him.
