A Sacred Cry

Galatians 4:6

"And because ye are sons, God hath sent

forth the Spirit of his Son into your

hearts, crying, Abba, Father."

        The proof that we are sons comes from the instinctive cry of the heart. In man's deepest need he cries, "Father!" to God. Paul uses the phrase, "Abba! Father!" Abba is the Aramaic word for Father. It must have been often on Jesus' lips, and its sound was so sacred it was kept in the original tongue. This instinctive cry of man's heart Paul believes to be the work of the Holy Spirit. For Paul, he who governed his life by slavery to the law, he was still a child; then he who had learned the way of grace, had become a mature man in the Christian faith.

       My friends, when we cry to God, from our heart it is sacred. Some may cry Abba! Father! and some may cry Almighty God!, or My Lord! My God! In fact we all address God in different ways at different times. With no doubt, if our hearts so cry, we know that we are sons, and all the inheritance of grace is ours.
Amen!!
