Do you hear that low, rumbling noise? (No, I’m not talking about your stomach growling—skipped a meal again, huh?) The phenomenon I’m referring to is called the “Earth’s hum.” That’s the term scientists use for the constant rumble beneath our feet that they can detect by using seismometers.

The deep hum, first discovered in the 1990s, is comprised of countless notes and tunes all packed together into one “natural symphony.” No one is sure where this “music” comes from, but possibilities include rocks moving within the earth and pressures from ocean or atmospheric waves.

Jesus never talked about singing rocks, but He did say that stones “would burst into cheers” if the Pharisees stopped the crowds from celebrating His entry into Jerusalem (Luke 19:40). On that day, the people celebrated Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah. They had heard of or witnessed His teaching and miracles, and now they saw Him riding into town on a donkey—something prophesied of the Christ (Zechariah 9:9-10). Spreading their cloaks on the road out of honor and respect, they shouted and sang a psalm that exalted the Messiah: “Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” (118:26).

The crowds cheered and the Pharisees fumed. They bitterly denied that Jesus was the Messiah—the holy one who would bring salvation. They couldn’t see the truth.

Living in the 21st century, you will face individuals and groups who try to stifle your declarations of who Jesus is. But, as He said, even if people silence us the truth about Him can’t be contained. It will last forever (2 John 1:2). Even the stones would shout His praises if we tried to hit the mute button.

Let’s make “noise” about Jesus today—declaring “the Good News about the wonderful grace of God” (Acts 20:24)
