Abba Father

Do you know the Father? The one which the Lord's prayer is addressed to? If you look at Matthew 6, you will find if you tally it all up that the Word "father" is mentioned 10 times from v1-18 0f this chapter. Notice that He is our Father in heaven and indeed, he is reffered to as Heavenly father in verses throughout Matthew.

The prayer addresses Abba Father. It is probably either translated to best fit our language as "Daddy" or "Papa". It speaks to us of Father who we have a close intimate relationship with yet we respect/fear him. Those who have respect for their heavenly Father will not want to try and manipulate him or seek their own way/glory.
