The "Joyful Sound" of the Gospel
Commentators explain that the "joyful sound" originally referred to the trumpet calls that gathered ancient Israel for worship and festivals. For Christians, this is overwhelmingly interpreted as the sound of the Gospel—the good news of God's love, grace, forgiveness, and salvation through Jesus Christ. To know this sound is to know the message of victory and freedom found in Him.
