I was deep into preparing this lesson about Jesus' faithfulness to His covenants, about how even the Old Covenant Law is intended to point us to the Lord who forever welcomes us into His presence, who places that presence within us, and I was encouraged by it. But then things didn't go as planned, and I ended up in a place where I hadn't intended to be. And right there in the tire shop -- in the place I wished I wasn't -- God showed me what the New Covenant meant for me in that moment.
