How nice the name sounds, Abba! that is how I call my father too, appa, and the word has so much of love and affection, which cannot be expressed in words. The sound and the intonation can awake such a feelings between a father and his son or daughter that it can only be experienced. That is how the familiar name for you too sounds, abba, and no wonder Jesus was so fond of this very name, because the name reveals your own personality and character. And that is what is so very beautiful not only with you, but with your name too.
