In ancient times, people used horns to communicate and generals would use horns to signal their armies how to maneuver. The horn of salvation in this verse refers to when a group would be under attack and the army would arrive and blow the horn to signal to the people that they would be saved.
Before Jesus was born there had been 400 years of silence where the nation of Israel had not heard from God at all. Jesus’ birth was a horn of salvation from God. He was saying, “I have not abandoned you or forgot about you. I am sending my son who will save you and the entire world.”
A lot of times we often go through periods in our life where we feel far away from God. But God will always reach out to us and bring us back to himself. Just like he sent the Israelites, Jesus as a horn of salvation.
