God is a Mystery.
Unseen Spirit.
Jesus said yes to
the Mystery.
Jesus dared to name the Mystery
“Father.”
And even on occasion
was brash enough to call the Mystery
“Daddy.”
Yes.
That word “Abba”
—which translators fear to touch
because it is too intimate—
is the equivalent of daddy or da-da.
Is that what it’s supposed to be like?
To feel as intimate and safe with God
as a baby snuggled in daddy’s or mommy’s arms?
Was that what Jesus had?
Was that Jesus’ secret?
So intimate was Jesus
with the mystery
that John could say
whoever has seen Jesus
has seen the face of the
Unseen Mystery.
I’ll ask it again:
What do you see when you look at Jesus?
