Synopsis:

• Clever presentation that utilizes misspelled words to demonstrate a truth about the human mind and God’s heart.
• A recent study is cited by Cambridge University that proves that the human brain looks at the first and last letter of a word when reading and interpreting texts—not individual letters.
• This succinct video makes the case that God’s heart toward us works in the same way—He looks at the beginning and the end (whether we’ve trusted Jesus as our Savior and are covered by His blood) not all of the mishaps in between.
• High production quality—with camera moving onto the screen—to reveal the text about the study next to a drawing of a human brain. The video continues with a graphic of a heart that begins beating as the text explains God’s heart toward us.

 Application:

• When God looks at those of us who have put their trust in Christ Jesus—he sees the finished work of Christ—the Beginning and the end. 
• No one is righteous apart from Christ—therefore we must be grateful that God overlooks our mess and reads our life story through His (Jesus’) story.
• Universal application because all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory.
• The need for the Lord’s mercy is universal.

 Suggested Uses:

• Appropriate as Sermon Starter on what remission of sin means.
• Also appropriate for introduction to altar call

 Biblical Reference:

• Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
• Psalm 103:12  “As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
