The Horn Of Salvation
In Luke 1, we see how Mary’s life was completely changed when the angel appeared to her and told her she was going to have a child. Mary had a privilege that no other woman who ever existed would have. In the same way, even Elizabeth’s and Zachariah’s lives were changed. Both Mary and Zachariah sang songs when their lives changed.
This reminds us of Hannah from the Old Testament, who also sang to God. Hannah, who was barren, gave birth to Samuel who changed history. Samuel was an anointed prophet whom God used to anoint Kings. It was Hannah’s deep prayer that gave birth to such a great person.
In Zechariah’s song we read; Luke 1:68-69 68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them. 69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David.
In Zachariah’s song, He talks about a horn of salvation. We see what the horn means in Deuteronomy 33:17: In majesty he is like a firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even those at the ends of the earth.
The horn is a symbol of power. God says that he will release His power upon us from high.
Luke 24:49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
This horn is a symbol of power. A powerless person cannot do anything. Jesus promised the disciples power from high.
Jesus is the horn of salvation who came from the house of David. He was powerful enough to destroy nations. His horns were powerful like the horns of a wild ox. It protects the wild ox and destroys many things. God gives this power to us through the horn of salvation.
Numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox.
When Israel was rescued from Egypt, they were weak slaves. The strength that God gave them was more than enough to come out of this slavery.
In the presence of God we can humble ourselves as much as we can, we can surrender our weaknesses and accept that we are not strong. We should never submit our weakness to Satan. Jesus has a lamb face and lion face. We too, like Jesus, must have a lamb face in front of God and be the lion of Judah in front of Satan.
When Satan comes to attack, we need to put on God's power and be strong in the Lord! We should put on the boldness and strength that comes from this horn of salvation and face any challenge or trial that comes our way.
