Descriptors

Revelation 1:5 KJV
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

Jesus is given many descriptors in the pages of the Bible. None of them show more connection to His relationship to mankind than these:

He is a faithful witness
Giving testimony to the image and likeness of God.

He is the first begotten of the dead
Identifying with those who were dead in trespasses and sins but are now alive through Him.

He is the prince of the kings of the earth
A prince would typically be an underling to the king but in this case it is obvious the term places Him as supervisor to the kings.
