The political ethic and the Jesus ethic are diametrically opposed to one another. Yahweh did not want a king to rule Israel. Raw power and coercion are the basis of politics. Love, service, and self-sacrifice are the basis of Jesus. They couldn’t be further from one another.

"We have no king but Jesus!" our rebel forebearers claimed.
Would that they and their descendants had really meant that slogan and lived it out in their lives.
Would that we who today claim that we belong to King Jesus would give our allegiance to Him alone.
One "O Happy Day!" we will. https://youtu.be/KJohGa66FJM?si=E6ab-7axLsONcbfN
