I Chronicles 15:1-3, 14-16, 25-29a (end with “dancing”) NRSV
David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their kindred as the singers to play on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise loud sounds of joy. (1 Chronicles 15:16)
The response to the Advent of the Christ is joyful celebration, even in the midst of suffering, pain, and injustice because he is our HOPE
