Why is Christ called the Lion of Judah?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is called the Lion of Judah because He represents strength and victory, fulfilling the prophecy of Judah's lineage.

The term 'Lion of Judah' reflects both the power and dignity associated with Jesus Christ as the Savior. Judah’s description as a lion in Genesis 49:9 symbolizes kingly authority and victory. Christ, descending from Judah, fulfills this prophecy by triumphing gloriously over sin, death, and all His enemies. His role as the Lion signifies His sovereignty over creation, providing assurance to believers of His power to save and protect in a fallen world.
Scripture References: Genesis 49:9, Revelation 5:5
