    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>It’s the old comparison game. John’s disciples say, “We fast like the religious leaders, so why do your disciples not fast?” It’s almost as if they are asking, “Since you are the Messiah as John has told us, since you are the standard of righteousness and holiness, then why are you not teaching or making your disciples fast?” as if fasting was a standard of holiness and to some, like the religious leaders, it was. They made a huge ordeal when they were fasting and how often they fasted. But what they didn’t know is there is a bigger picture, one they don’t see nor understand. Jesus uses a Jewish wedding to paint them the picture and how he has everything under control. He lets them know there is a new covenant coming soon that he will usher in!

  <description>The author gets down to the nitty gritty and says, “This is my main point” and he goes on to say not only is Jesus better than angels, Moses, the law, a better High Priest, but this new covenant he established by his blood that was shed, is better than the old covenant. In fact, the author is so bold to say, “The old covenant is now obsolete!” When he is writing this letter, the Temple is still standing. The Temple was a better version of the tabernacle which was built for traveling since they were wondering in the wilderness for 40 years. David wanted to build God a permanent place to dwell and Solomon, his son, built the first Temple in Jerusalem. It was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and later rebuilt. This building was majestic, it was ginormous, and yet it is empty because God no longer resides there. Jesus, God’s Son, was the Messiah who came to fulfill the law and be our once and for all sacrifice. He is now sitting at the Father’s right hand in the place of honor, making intercession for us! Therefore, this new covenant God has established by the blood of Jesus, is better than the old covenant so why would we want to leave Jesus and go to an empty building? Stay with Jesus!
