Why is Jesus referred to as the King of Kings?

The title 'King of Kings' signifies the ultimate authority of Christ over all earthly rulers. In Revelation 19:16, it is declared that He 'has a name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.' This title illustrates not only His supreme authority but also His power to govern justly and righteously. Believers take great comfort in this, affirming that their King is sovereign and has the final say in all matters, both earthly and spiritual. As the first King of Israel, Christ fulfills and transcends this role, illustrating God's redemptive plan throughout history.
