Update – I am adding a note from an academic perspective from James McGrath “‘Abba’ is the ordinary Aramaic word for father in the absolute state, and not child-talk or “daddy” as some have at times wrongly claimed.”  But, please enjoy the cute videos anyway.

Today’s New Testament lectionary reading is from Romans 8 including Romans 8.15, which reads “For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, “Abba, Father!””  I’m going to post some YouTube videos today to give some perspective on crying “Abba, Father!”
