In this sermon, we see that unconfessed or even unrecognized sin (blind spots) robs us of joy. We walk around life like there is a heavy weight upon us, a weight of guilt, shame, or feeling like a hypocrite. Confession brings a joyful freedom, and also paves the way for more joy from other conduits and avenues in life (for example, it's hard to enjoy the blessing of deep friendship if you know you are not being honest).

The gospel alternative is not trying harder. It’s trusting the One John points to. John says, “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” (Luke 3:16). Jesus steps into the water, not because He needs repentance, but to stand with sinners. And when He does, the Father speaks: “You are my beloved Son” (Luke 3:22). Real change flows from being made new in Christ. Let us examine our hearts. Not just our past decisions, but our present fruit. Are you trusting Jesus, or just the memory of a moment?
