“For most of us the prayer in Gethsemane is the only model. Removing mountains can wait.”

“Abba, Father,” he said,
“everything is possible for you.”
“Take this cup from me.”
“Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

Abba and imma – daddy and mommy – are the first words Jewish children learn to speak. And abba is so personal, so familiar a term that no one ever dared to use it in address to the great God of the universe – no one until Jesus. Professor Joachim Jeremias declares: “There is not a single example of the use of abba … as an address to God in the whole of Jewish literature.”
