The measure of a man is his character, reflected in the ordered action of rational discernment.  Choices, decisions, actions, stances all taken as explicable reaction or commentary consistent with worldly circumstance or logical deduction.  Chances are that if the world has never seen you lie, cheat, steal, murder, waiver in your stance upon the foundations of Christianity then you are a person of good character.  Let us leave room for the caveat of those things which may only be seen by God, thus declaring human judgment a less than perfect method of character judgment.

If a man may safely be declared of good character, what then is the probability/possibility that a prophet would be equally well judged through this process of public scrutiny?  I would venture to say that it would be less likely for a prophet with blemishes or discrepancies to escape negative public judgment than a man of shady character.  For it is much easier to hide errant character than it is to hide faulty predictions or disproved words that were attributed to God.  We as humans have been warned of false prophets so we reserve a set of particularly cruel punishments for them who falsely prophesy.  We must then accept Jesus as a Prophet, for nothing he ever foretold failed to materialize.  Certainly there are outstanding prophecies attributed to the Lord but them not having yet occurred we must first wait for them to happen before proclaiming judgment.  Yet we are now confronted with logical quandary, for if Jesus has uniquely told the truth regarding prophecy and we have seen no character flaws, our assumed position must be one that accepts him as truthful.  And in so doing we must accept the fact that He proclaimed Himself God, one of the Trinity, equal, one and coexistent with the Father and Holy Spirit.  Certainly we may proclaim it false but not until we have seen evidence to the contrary which heretofore has yet been produced.

The atheist’s or scientific evolutionists only hope is to construct doctrine consistently challenging, condemning and proving Jesus to be a liar.  This practice, attempted by the Pharisees, would result in coupling Jesus with the prince of the power of the air, whom we know to be a dissembler of supernatural composition.  However, none of their attempts to label him such was effective.  Certain, accusations and emotional fist raising allowed the Roman’s to stir up the mob to label him false, none of the accusations stood against truth.  There was no other relevant position for the legal authorities to take, thy could not have proclaimed him of good character or esteemed him as a truthful man while mollifying the mob.  So, Jesus was labeled false without supporting data a close-minded practice that defies all the rules of effective case law and scientific experimentation.   If by nature, I exclude the possibility of some idea being true then I have effectively prohibited it from ever having a fair, honest, discerned debate and subsequently opened the thoroughfare to it having been proclaimed falsely false.  Jesus has never been shown to have lied about anything.

What does it mean to us that Jesus is our King?  We then are subjects within his realm of authority.  Hereditary, pre-eminence, authority, Sovereign, ruler, judge, monarch, these are the words that describe the character of any King.  Jesus was the rightful and prophesied messiah of God, sent at exactly the time in history to which he was ordained.  He fulfilled the law and the word of the prophets in over 100 completed predictions.  Jesus forgave when it was His right to Judge  Jesus loved when all that He was offered had been hate and He stood silent offering no excuses, mercy or explanation for His honorable behavior.  We have established that to be pronounced a good man we must demonstrate those characteristics consistent with good behaviors.  To be a prophet our predictions must be proven correct and to be King we must have the family rights to the inheritance and subsequent authority.  Jesus, is a Teacher, a Prophet and a King and nothing he said did or didn’t do can ever equate him with having been a dissembler.

Unlike in worldly Kingdom’s Jesus’s authority does not arise from our belief in that said authority.  It is not like a fiat currency that only has worth because we believe in that worth.  Jesus is King because He has always been King.  His Sovereignty does not depend on our reliance upon that righteous authority.  He is who is and that is all He ever need explain to any of us.
