Abba Father
Many of us have struggled with believing our Heavenly Father would treat us compassionately. The way we were treated by our biological Father or other care givers will have had a major impact on our life and may influence our believing in God as He truly is, and how much He cares for us. Before Jesus went to the cross to pay the debt for our sins, He prayed for us who would believe in Him through the message of the Gospel.
Jesus told of the love of His Father for us, and because of Jesus’ love for His Father, He was willing to come to earth to make a way for us to be forgiven for our sin and reconciled with His Father. Some of us never heard of the God who loves us and desires to be our Abba Father. Jesus was the one who demonstrated God’s love for us. On His way to the cross, knowing of His Father’s plan of redemption, Jesus spoke tenderly to His Father addressing Him with words that are equivalent to ‘Daddy’.
And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.” (Mark 14:36 NKJV)
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NASB)
Prayer: Abba Father, Thank you for sending Jesus into the world to reveal Your extravagant love for me. Help me to be like Jesus in my heart and desire only Your will my life. Amen
