THE KING OF THE JEWS
John 19: 19 “ And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS”. The original name for the people we call Jews was Hebrew. Hebrew was first used in the Torah (first five book of Moses) Gen. 14:13 . The Jews now refers to all physical and spiritual descendants of Jacob. At the time of Jesus birth, King Herod was not at ease when he heard about the birth of the “King of the Jews” (Matt. 2:2) The Jews never believed in Jesus as the Son of God talk more of believing in him as their King, rather they saw Caesar as their King. However, Christ was not referring to himself as the physical king of the Jews. It was more spiritual than physical which was beyond the human Interpretation of the Jews. John 18:36 “Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world : if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence”.
