Gracebook, Lesson 11: Confession & Absolution (Bater)

Audio from Youtube: https://youtu.be/gou2ngjh1ys 

.

Regardless whether or not you grew up with religion, the word "confession" can paint a pretty dark picture in most people's minds. It's an unsettling situation we all try to avoid as much as possible. This lesson takes a closer look at the picture the Bible paints of confession and uncovers the fact that the picture most people have is incomplete. Confession can be terrifying, no doubt. But it all depends on the One you're confessing to and what their response is to hearing it. The threat of punishment is what keeps most of us from confessing and thus, we bury our guilt as deep as possible. But what if the One you're confessing to not only has the power to remove your guilt and set you free from it forever, but also promises to do it every single time? This is our God's gracious response and promise which comes in the most beautiful words of Absolution.
