Song review
Main themes
Hilo Hilo by Sarah K and Shachah Team is themed on the name of Jesus, revolving around these themes:
- Greatness of the name
- Standing for the name
Greatness of the name
Christ, obedient to the Father’s will, humbled Himself to the point of death to take upon Himself the sins of humanity. He emerged from death a victorious King. The entirety of creation is now subject to His authority, and is to submit to Him as Lord.
He is truly exalted. What a privilege to be called after the greatest name!
Philippians 2:8-11 KJV
[8] and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
[10] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
[11] and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Standing up for the name
The early Christians faced great opposition from religious leaders and the authorities. On multiple occasions, they were charged to cease association with the name of Jesus. But in great boldness, they stood against persecution and proclaimed the name even unto their deaths.
Their is an example of the boldness with which we are to witness and propagate the Lord’s name.
Acts 5:27-28, 41-42 KJV
[27] And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
[28] saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
[41] And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.[42] And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
