Kings are born not chosen. Jesus was born a King Matthew 2:2 "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him."
Jesus claim to be a King Matthew 27:11 Jesus stood in front of the governor, [Pilate]. The governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" "Yes, I am," Jesus answered. John 18:37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."
Jesus first sermon ever preached was about Kingdom, not a religion. Matthew 4:17 From then on Jesus began to preach, "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near." (NLT)
A King can't be a King of nothing. A King has to have a Kingdom to be a King John 18:36 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world."
Luke 17:21 says You won't be able to say, 'Here it is!' or 'It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is already among you."
John 3:3-5 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God." "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Jesus was Killed (in the natural) because He had claim to be a King in another government and His teaching (which was the Gospel of the Kingdom) was drawing people away from the teachings of the religious leaders. (Mark 3:6 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. and John 11:48 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs. If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation." ). Their concept of those who believed in Jesus was ruled by political considerations. The Pharisees didn't have the authority to crucify Jesus, so they basically tricked the Roman's into doing it for them. The Romans accepted only one king, and that was Caesar. So there was a dominion effect, and the Jews played this fact for all it was worth in promoting their plan to get rid of Jesus.
But God used the pilot of The Pharisees and use the blood of our King to connect us back to His original image and likeness that we were created with from creation.
But after the death of our King did not stop Him from proclaiming the message He came to preach. After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. Acts 1:3.
Jesus mission on Friday (Good Friday) to Sunday (Easter Sunday) wasn't just to die for our sins to still live in sin. He's mission (Luke 4:43) was to bring us back to our rightful place that God had originally design for mankind. (Genesis 1:26,28).
When you understand the Kingdom concept, Jesus' birth, life, death, burial and resurrection make so much sense.
Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Thank God our King is risen !!!
