Confession and Absolution - Week 5 (Monday Morning Devotions)
It is hard, but so good, to hear words of confession from our own mouth, and from the mouth and heart of someone who has hurt us. Relationships begin to be rebuilt when we truly own who we are as sinful people, accept and give the forgiveness of Jesus that is for us and lives through us, and then, through presence, truly understand what that forgiveness does for us.
Confession and Absolution - Week 4 (Monday Morning Devotions)
It is quite easy to know the difference between right and wrong, actually, God's Word states that the Law is written on our hearts. It is quite different to admit to our own failures to do what is right. In the first part, confession, though difficult, is necessary.
The second part, accepting that one's sin is forgiven, is just as necessary, and at times, just as difficult.
Confession and Absolution - Week 3 (Monday Morning Devotions)
Through faith in Jesus, one is forgiven and the consequence of our sin and our sinful nature is now no big deal for us. Having come to the realization of our sin and what price Jesus paid for it, we have peace with God.
Confession and Absolution - Week 2 (Monday Morning Devotions)
God is faithful and just. God sent His Son to take your place and my place on the cross and offers you forgiveness. By God's mercy when you confess or own up to your rebellious ways you are cleansed from all unrighteousness. That is Good News!
Confession and Absolution - Week 1 (Monday Morning Devotions)
