Jesus is the Only Way to Know God as “Abba”
Read: John 14:6-7

Growing up in a rural Colorado area as a small child into a teenager, I could hear my mother pray at bedtime “Abba” Father and then the Lord’s Prayer. There was nowhere for her to turn to except through prayer. Our lives were threatened often. I would hide under the covers at night and cling to my small Bible praying that Jesus could help us out of our situation.

On weekends I was fortunate to stay with grandmother and attend Sunday School and church in the city. In my mind only Jesus could help us and as it turned out the way to God is only through Jesus because he is both God and man. Trust Jesus to take you to the Father and all the benefits of being God’s child will be yours.

Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for your teachings. Amen
