Revealing Abba in the Psalms | How Jesus saw God as Abba

Revealing Abba in Psalm 30

Your name is highly exalted in Me, O Abba; for You have raised Me up; and have not let My enemy take pleasure in ruling over Me;

O Abba My God; I cried to You in My affliction, and You heard Me and healed Me from the wound of death, raising Me in immortal flesh;

O Abba, You brought My life up from the grave just as You promised; not allowing Me to see corruption with the dead;

Sing unto Abba; all you people in the earth whose death He has conquered in Me; and give thanks for the sure hope of the same life you see in Me, which He has set apart for you from the beginning;

For His vengeance at the death that was destroying you, His beloved, lasted but for a moment; and though weeping may endure for a night, everlasting joy and comfort comes in the morning; in seeing how Abba has abolished all sin and death in the flesh by raising Me up in immortal flesh and bone;

And in Me abides the substance of that sure hope; having entered into Abba’s rest, seated at His right hand in immortal human flesh; forevermore.

Not in My own strength Abba, but by Your grace and everlasting kindness You exalted Me; for a small moment You hid Your face from man’s union to death which had made Your beloved barren of Your life; and when I was troubled;

And I cried out to You in My affliction, with a strong cry; saying;

What profit is there in My blood, should the enemy prevail, and I go down with the dead in corruption and return to dust?

Shall the truth of Your everlasting love and kindness, and desire to give Your beloved life, destroying the enemy, death; be declared in that?

You heard Me, O Abba; and did not abhor Me in My affliction; but rescued Me;

You are ever persuading My heart that You will never leave or forsake Me;

You have turned My sorrow into dancing: You have removed My distress and filled Me with gladness above all My fellows; clothing Me in Your immortal life;

So that all can behold Me in immortal human flesh and bone at Your right hand; and that this shall be an everlasting word to all people; where their hearts go to rest in the same glory to be revealed in them;

O Abba My God, all glory, honor and thanksgiving to You forever.
