Revealing Abba in the Psalms: Book 1: How Jesus saw God as Abba

Revealing Abba in the Psalms Book 1 covers Psalm 1 through Psalm 41 I think one of the most important and under-emphasized parts of Jesus’ ministry was to reveal the Father. In John 1:18 it says: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.

The bosom speaks of the heart of God. Jesus, the Word made flesh came from the very heart of God to reveal Him as Abba.

We can look unto Jesus the Word of God to see the Father as Abba and see the good view and opinion that Abba has of you in Him; and the very cry of the Spirit within us is Abba Father!

The question I began to ask Jesus was, How did You see God as Abba in the scriptures, when no one else for 4000+ years of recorded history had seen Him that way?

Shouldn’t we now through the Spirit, knowing the end from the beginning, be able to see what Jesus saw?

Since David was described as a man after God’s own heart (Jesus), I thought the Psalms would be a great place to start looking. These writings were birthed from that question.
