Jesus, indeed, is a King, as He tells Pilate in response to his questioning. But it's very clear Jesus is a different kind of king. His Kingship is not about wielding earthly power and authority. Rather, it is based on fulfilling God's purpose, testifying to the Truth, and dying to save His people, that they might listen to the voice of Truth.
When we so listen, we realize that Jesus is a mightier King than any earthly king ever could be. He comes with such power and force, holding the whole universe in His hands, having been granted such power and authority because He obediently fulfilled God's purpose. And for those of us in His Kingdom, it's all about following His example of obedience.
