The Lamb is King
Jesus is the Lamb, the King whose sovereignty is total, and the Messiah sent by God to redeem men from every nation . Jesus is the Faithful Witness and the Ruler of the Kings of the Earth. These designations are inextricably linked. The first establishes how he obtained the second, namely, his sovereignty. Through his sacrificial death, Jesus redeemed his people, and because of his “ obedience unto death ,” God exalted Christ and made him Lord over all things.
