Overview
"Abba Father" is a statement that moves us toward personal freedom. When we authentically love someone, our primary intent is to set them free. Father's forgiveness sets us free, giving us the internal capacity and desire to respond externally to God as a Father so we can hear His voice. To give us this freedom, Christ came to take us to the Father. Cultivating our relationship with Christ prepares us to more perfectly understand the Father. On the Cross, at the moment of His death, Jesus offered His Own human spirit to God the Father. Of course, all that Christ experienced and everything that occurred was born and facilitated by the Person of the Holy Spirit in preparation for this Eternal Lamb to be made a sin-offering, but He also gave up His Own human spirit. Christ has not only demonstrated His love for us, He has made intricate arrangements to participate with us, be present with us, and be our source of strength on our personal journey into God. In this Plumbline, Bob helps us get beyond our present application that Jesus' sacrifice was limited to our forgiveness. He gave Himself to us in every possible way-even in the complexities and crazies that life presents for the working out of our salvation. He gives Himself for us as the sacrificial Lamb of God. And, He gives His human spirit to us in order to conform us into the image of Himself.
