Confession of Sin
Leader: Over 700 hundred years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah foretold this good news that we celebrate every Christmas:
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. (Isaiah 9:6–7)
Jesus is this child who was born for us. He is God’s own Son given to us. What a gift God has given to us in Christ!
Church: God our Father, we rejoice this Christmas season as we celebrate the birth of your Son who is our Savior. With glad and merry hearts we proclaim that Jesus is the true reason, the real purpose, and the greatest gift of this Advent season. We will never outgrow our need for the gift you have given to us in Christ.
We continue to sin, and without Jesus’ sinless life, sin-atoning death, and eternal life-giving resurrection we would be dead in our sins and headed to hell. Even this week we have thought things we should not have thought, said things we should not have said, and done things we should not have done. God, we confess that at times we have lived for ourselves instead of for your glory and have treasured others above Jesus Christ.
For this reason, we confess our sin to you, we repent, and we trust wholly and only in Jesus Christ.
Assurance of Pardon
Leader: Church, having confessed your sin to God, hear this assurance of your pardon from Romans 3:21–24: “But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” Amen!
NEW CITY CATECHISM:
Q 14: Did God create us unable to keep his law?
A 14: No, but because of the disobedience of our first parents, Adam and Eve, all of creation is fallen; we are all born in sin and guilt, corrupt in our nature and unable to keep God’s law.
Romans 5:12
