Jesus Brings Real Joy and Rest
In chapter 5, Jesus declares Himself to be the Bridegroom after the Pharisees asked him why His disciples don't fast. People aren't sad at weddings but are joyous! Jesus brings real joy because He is the Bridegroom. We can only find real joy in Him. He told the Pharisees a parable about old and new things (v. 36-39). Jesus is the new, and some people (the Pharisees, teachers of the law, etc.) prefer the old - the old covenant and the additions to the covenant. In chapter 6, Jesus lives this new wine principle out. He proclaims that He is the Lord of the Sabbath. Only Jesus brings real rest, and we must find our rest in Him alone.

Matthew 12:1-8
Like all humans, the Pharisees desperately tried to set aside God’s righteous requirements by their own means. Jesus is the Lord of the Law.
