THE HORN OF SALVATION

 

Luke 1:57-80 / Keywords 1:69

THE HORN OF SALVATION

 

1. He is to be called John (57-64)

Elizabeth gave birth to a son, and on the day of his circumcision, both Elizabeth

and Zechariah named him John as the angel had said. They affirmed and

accepted God’s will upon their son. Then Zechariah’s silence training ended and

he praised God.

 

2. He has raised up a horn of salvation (65-80)

God raised up Jesus, the horn of salvation. Horn signifies strength and power

and authority. Jesus came to crush the horns of Satan, to save us from the

power of sin and death, to sanctify us, and to enable us to serve him without fear

in holiness and righteousness! God would use John the Baptist to prepare the

hearts of people for the Messiah so that people would turn to God. The Rising Sun

shines on those who repent and guides us into the path of peace.

 

Prayer Lord, I praise you for Jesus the Horn of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus,

for crushing the power of Satan and enabling me to serve you in peace,

holiness, and righteousness. Use me to prepare the hearts of others so

they may know and turn to Jesus, the horn of salvation.

One Word Jesus, the Horn of Salvation
