Because Jesus was resurrected, his disciples called him the King of…

Jesus… was resurrected
and because of this, the disciples worshiped Jesus as the King of Kings, the Almighty Son.
…After following Jesus, the disciples saw and experienced many signs and wonders. They also heard many teachings.
They believed that this person was the Messiah they had been waiting for!
…However, when Jesus was crucified and killed…the disciples…suddenly lost their faith.
…The disciples fell to the depths of despair…
…And then Jesus… rose from the dead…and appeared before them!
…The disciples…worshipped Jesus!
However,
"Some doubted," it is written!
…In other words, some still doubted whether he was the real Christ in the flesh.
…Even if the testimonies of those who have had near-death experiences and seen heaven and hell are consistent with the Bible… many Christians… still doubt them.

…The Bible honestly describes not only God's perfection, but also humanity's imperfection, weakness, sinfulness, and foolishness that prevents us from understanding no matter how many times we are told…
…The disciples were also ordinary people.
This shows that we humans are inherently doubtful beings. But… I believe that “some” later repented and continued to follow Jesus.

Don’t we sometimes doubt Jesus too?
…When that happens, we should immediately repent.

Shalom 😃
