We can know that Jesus is King because His birth fulfilled Old Testament prophecy.
4 So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people
and asked them where the Messiah would be born.
5 “In Bethlehem of Judea,” they told him,
“because this is what was written by the prophet:
6 And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah:
Because out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.”
7 Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men
and asked them the exact time the star appeared.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said,
“Go and search carefully for the child.
When you find him, report back to me
so that I too can go and worship him.”
