8. Celebrating of Christ  In the Bible, the horn of a goat, ox, or ram was used as a trumpet and was blown up to the sky to show victory in battle as the conquering soldiers entered a captured city.  God is our song of victory! He raised up a horn of salvation for us in Christ when he won the victory for us and conquered the devil and the sin that is in the world.  We too can lift up the horn of salvation by declaring to the world the victory that is available in Christ. When Christ returns to gather us together the trumpet will sound the final victory of our salvation!
