There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fly fishing is a very pleasant amusement; but angling or float fishing, I can only compare to a stick and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fly fishing is a very pleasant amusement; but angling or float fishing, I can only compare to a stick and a string, with a worm at one end and a fool at the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An amateur is someone who supports himself with outside jobs which enable him to paint.
