New Wine in New Wineskins
Luke 5:33-39 | This group raised a valid issue. People who were serious about God devoted themselves to the weekly rituals of prayer and fasting. So why weren't Jesus' disciples doing the same? Weren't they serious about God? Jesus used their inquiry to teach important truths: the new wine he has brought will not fit in old wineskins of ritualism, legalism, or any other -ism. This teaching has the potential to change our lives by ushering us out of any old ways of ritualistic legalism and into the joy of the new wine, new heart, and new covenant realities Jesus offers.
