The Parable of the New Cloth/New Wine
Luke 5:36-39 /Mark 2:21-22 / Matthew 9:16-17
Context: v 31b-32
It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
Ruin the new
Instead of fixing the ‘tear’ attempting to ‘add’ religion will only make the tear worse.
Old and new won’t match
Don’t patch religion onto your old life
Product will be lost
Container will be ruined
Don’t pour Jesus into your old life
Examples of people who tried to add Jesus to their old life:
- Simon the sorcerer
o Acts 8:9-23
- Judas
o John 12:1-6
- Unbelievers
o Titus 1:15b-16
