Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Imagine if our president, who as president has full power to completely pardon anyone he wants, went to the highest security prison we have. The place were they lock up the worst of the worst, the really bad criminals. He appears there one day with a pile of pardons. And all who come and confess may have one. But don't deny your sin. Don't tell him you're innocent and have been locked up wrongfully. If you do, no pardon for you. What do you think would happen?
