Malau, Bishop of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (LCCN), today, Wednesday, July 9, 2025, paid a pastoral visit to Rigange and Waduku communities in Lamurde Local Government Area, following the recent communal crisis between the Bwatiye and Chobo communities.

*Confession and Forgiveness in the Lutheran Tradition: A Call to Authenticity*

As Lutherans, we gather every Sunday morning to confess our sins, reciting the words: *"We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves."* But do we utter these words out of habit or from the depths of our hearts? Are we genuinely reflecting on our actions and seeking forgiveness, or have we reduced this sacred ritual to mere tradition?

*The Lutheran Confession*
In our worship services, we confess:
*"We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We have not forgiven others as You have forgiven us."*

These words echo the teachings of Jesus, emphasizing the importance of loving God and our neighbors (Matthew 22:37-40). Yet, do we truly comprehend the weight of our confession?

*Christ's Example*
Jesus, amidst hatred and persecution, prayed: *"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34). His words demonstrate the essence of Christian love, unconditional forgiveness and compassion. As His followers, we are called to emulate this example.

*Authenticity in Confession*
To revitalize our confession, let us:
1. Reflect on our actions and their impact on others.
2. Acknowledge the hurt we may have caused.
3. Seek genuine forgiveness from God and our neighbors.
4. Cultivate empathy and understanding.
5. Strive to love others as Christ loves us.

*From Tradition to Transformation*
Let us move beyond mere recitation and embrace the transformative power of confession. May our words be infused with sincerity, humility, and a deep desire for reconciliation.

*Conclusion*
As Lutherans, our weekly confession serves as a poignant reminder of our fallibility and Christ's redemptive love. May we rediscover the authenticity of our confession, allowing it to shape our lives and relationships. By embracing forgiveness and love, we become beacons of Christ's light in a world torn apart by hatred, envy, and jealousy.
