***A novel sight for us: The sight of a king, beginning his reign
Our hearts sing a song longing to live in a certain kind of land, led by men and women of character
A song of justice
Justice: The uplifting and promoting what’s right, the deterrence of and prevention of the wrong and the oppressive
Righteousness: The characteristic of doing right, the quality of a person inclined toward sound morality
Evolving stability
Order v. chaos
Creation itself is God’s act of bringing order from chaos
Order—of nature, society—is a blessing, but the forces of chaos always threaten to upend order
The effective leader leads well, and his or her people benefit from a godly leader’s good, long life

Evolving stability
There is a persistent need not to leave things alone, but to commit continually to a vision of the world God intends.
“[There is this] idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are.
But you do not.
If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.
If you leave a white post alone it will soon be a black post.
If you particularly want it to be white you must be always painting it again; that is, you must be always having a revolution.
Briefly, if you want the old white post you must have a new white post.”
(G.
K. Chesterton)
A song of joy in the world
***NS: An idea at work that when there is good leadership, creation itself flourishes
The king:
Is righteous and promotes justice
Maintains order, but an evolving order that remains committed to God’s vision for the world
Under a good king, the earth itself prospers and yields blessing for God’s people
***NS: Transition to rule of Jesus, the “coronation” as he enters Jerusalem in Luke
We yearn for a just and righteous King, maintaining order and keeping the destructive forces of chaos at bay, whose reign makes the earth fruitful and blessed.
For this the ancient psalmists broke into song.
For this the followers of Jesus sang, “Hosanna!”
For this our hearts cry out.
And if we don’t cry out, the stones themselves will lift their voices in praise of Jesus the King.
