ABBA—Father

I don’t want to be the one to break it to you, but the original meaning of the word “Abba” didn’t just pop up in the ‘70s with the Swedish singing group. In fact, to be precise, the singers came up with their group’s name by creating an acronym representing their four given names. So for now, my little dancing queen, put away your Mamma Mia CD and tune in to the one true Abba that offers so much more.

There is no more intimate name for God than Abba. The Aramaic word actually means “father,” and in some cultures the meaning is even more closely akin to “Daddy.” It’s a name that’s both heartfelt and warm and filled with respect. Just hours before His death, Jesus called out to His Father in prayer, “Abba Father, everything is possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will” (Mark 14:36). We can call upon our Abba Father just as Jesus did, knowing the heart of the Father hears our every prayer.
