Typoglycemia. Yes, that’s a real word! It is and I quote, “the ability to understand words when the first and last letters are stable, but the intermediate letters are scrambled.” If you jump over to our YouTube channel and watch our online service (The City Life Church), you will observe a slide that appears on the sanctuary projector screen for you to test your ability to read the scrambled words. This is a great illustration for us in this series. We are examining the Easter story in reverse order. Instead of the traditional journey that starts at Palm Sunday and leads us to Easter morning, we are traversing the story in the opposite direction. The reason is the same theory behind typoglycemia. When you only examine Scripture from the same perspective, the same order all the time, you will likely anticipate what you will see from what you have already learned, likely obscuring new insights the Holy Spirit is trying to reveal. For instance, tonight we will focus on this principle: who you are becoming is shaped by what you are doing and is measured by how your life is impacting others around you. You are likely familiar with the idea that who we are motivates what we do. But in this sermon, we’ll see that Jesus at The Last Supper and The Garden of Gethsemane reminds us that what we do also shapes who we are. Thanks for listening!
