What better time to lead your congregation into prayer and confession of sin than Good Friday. Confession of sin is essential for our relationship with God and one another. As the Apostle John writes: “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1John 1:7-8).” In confession of sin we move from darkness of shame and into the light of God's kindness, cleansing, and gracious forgiveness. We allow Christ to apply the cross to our wounds and bring us into fellowship with God and one another.

Scripture: 1 John 1-2:1
