“Blessed
is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in
the light of Thy countenance.” -Psalm
89:15 [KJV]
Why
is the gospel news of salvation called the “the joyful sound?”
Because it is the vehicle of making known to us that God is love, and
that He has (in the blood and righteousness of Christ) opened a
channel for His love to exert itself in the salvation of the
unworthy. The lost are found; the blind see; the deaf hear; the lame
walk; the leprous are cleansed; the dead are made alive; and all
“without money and without price”
(Isaiah 55:1).
-Augustus
