Jesus rocked the world of the religious elite of His time. They could not wrap their minds around His teachings and the miracles that followed Him. They were shocked when He didn’t follow all their traditions and man made rules. They wanted Him and His disciples with Him to fast.

Jesus explained that what He was proclaiming to them was “New Wine”. It could not be put in the constricted old wine skins. In other words. What God wanted to do in their lives could not be confined by the old ways of the law. It was New.

God wants to do the same within us! Where we have been with God is only the surface of where He desires to take us! His relationship to us is New and it is living!

We don’t have to be stuck in the ways of the past! Jesus gives us New Wine and changes our hearts so that it is put into New Wine skins that can receive the New He wants to do in us!!

This is Good News!

““No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”” Mark 2:21-22 NIV
