In Matthew 2:1 and 2...Now when Jesus was born in Beth-lehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Jesus was declared King of the Jews by the wise men from the east(gentiles) and not the Jews!
In Matthew 27: 37...And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
In Mark 15:26...And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
In Luke 23:38...And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
In John 19:19...And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Jesus was declared King of the Jews again but this time from Pontius Pilate(gentile), again not the Jews! On both occasions, gentiles believed that he was the King of the Jews!
This is amazing because you would have thought the Jews would have believed their Messiah. But many of us believe their Jewish Messiah Jesus now and we are neither Jew nor Gentile but now ONE in Christ! Amen
