- He came as the promised Jewish Messiah, and as a true king to lead his people. This title of king holds significance to both Jews and Gentiles, and gives us insight into who Jesus is and why he came to earth to dwell among us. His reign as king was not temporary, but eternal, and his kingdom is not of this earth, but everlasting.

Jesus is referred to as King in both the New Testament letters and in Old Testament prophecy. Zechariah 9:9 is a foretelling of what we refer to as Palm Sunday, where Jesus rides into Jerusalem in just this way, riding on a donkey, as crowds around him shout Hosanna!

When Jesus was delivered up to the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, every indication is that the Jewish leaders were using the charge of sedition as a means to have him executed. They argued that Jesus had set himself up as a king, and therefore was aligning himself against Caesar. The interesting thing is that we never read of Jesus calling himself ...
Jesus is indeed the King of the Jews. He lived his life as a Jewish man, honoring the Ten Commandments and teaching that he did not come to abolish Jewish law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17).

Jesus’ view of the Old Testament can be seen by the way He used the Old Testament Scripture. He recognized the entire Old Testament as Scripture, He accepted the two main divisions of the Old Testament, the Law and the Prophets, and He quoted from fourteen individual books of the Old Testament.
Dec 7, 2008 · The title “King of Israel,” just like the title “Son of God,” was more and less than most of Jesus followers saw at first. Less because he would not become an earthly king and destroy the Roman overlords.
