The goal and purpose of confession is reconciliation. That is the restoration of broken relationships. Whether with God or people. Restoring a severed friendship. Restoring your broken home. Repairing a family back together. It begins by completely being honest.

What’s your situation? Are you in need of a city of refuge? Do you need forgiveness? That last one is a trick question: We all do. Thankfully our mistakes are not the end for us. Thankfully we don’t need to trek across Israel pursued by our accusers. Thankfully we no longer need to pay the price for our wrongdoings. Our sins are covered by the blood of Jesus, and our refuge is found in Him.
