As we approach the celebration of Christmas, it may seem unusual to begin by examining the theme of Christ’s kingship. However, as this insightful Bible study reveals, the birth of Jesus Christ is intrinsically tied to His eternal and supreme reign as “King of Kings.” Join us as we explore the profound significance of this title and how it sheds light on the true nature and purpose of the Christmas story.

They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful. Revelation 17:14

• Jesus is referred to as “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” in Revelation, indicating His ultimate and everlasting authority
• The details surrounding Jesus’ birth, such as the virgin birth and the visit of the Magi, point to His extraordinary status as the “born king”
• Christ’s kingship is not limited to the Jewish people, but extends to all nations and peoples
• Between His birth as the “born king” and His future reign as “King of Kings,” Jesus is also the “crucified king”
• Psalm 2 reveals key characteristics of Christ’s kingship, including His divine sonship, eternal reign, and ultimate victory over His enemies

As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill. Psalm 2:6

This Bible study has provided a profound and inspiring perspective on the true significance of Jesus’ birth. Far from just a humble baby in a manger, the child of Bethlehem is the eternal “King of Kings” who came to save His people from their sins. As we celebrate the wonder of Christmas, may we be filled with a deep sense of awe and adoration for this majestic King, who humbled Himself to become one of us, that we might live eternally under His gracious and victorious reign.
