Pause to read 1 John 1:8–2:2.

Before it burned in 2019, I had the opportunity to wander through Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral. I noticed the confessionals were mostly tucked away in quiet side chapels and for whatever reason— perhaps a nudge from God—I felt the need to finally admit to God something that was weighing on my conscience.

So in the glow of the Cathedral’s rose windows, I slid into a pew for a heart-to-heart with God.

Until that experience, I hadn’t actually confessed my sins. I’d generally admit I’d misbehaved, but naming my sins before God and acknowledging my need for His forgiveness—that wasn’t part of my faith tradition.

Confession may not be part of your faith tradition, either. But if that’s true, it’s time to take seriously the Bible passage you’ll explore with your kids this week.

Confession is more than a nod toward our need to grow spiritually. It’s taking sin as seriously as God takes it and coming to Him with humility and honesty.

You’ll know you’re truly confessing when you feel the burn of conviction making its way up your spine. (That and when you find yourself glancing around to make sure nobody can hear you.)

There’s forgiveness waiting for you, you know. Jesus has paid for every sin you mention.

¿Qué tienes que confesar? ¿Y qué podría pasar si lees 1 Juan 1:9 en voz alta y decides creerlo?
