Matthew 9:14-17 NLT | New and Old

"Neither is new wine poured into old wineskins..." Today we dive into Matthew 9:14-17, examining Jesus' response to questions about religious rituals and fasting. Fasting in the Old Testament was often associated with mourning and repentance. Jesus reminds John's disciples that His presence brings wedding-like celebration! But beyond fasting, Jesus uses the illustrations of cloth and wineskins to teach a foundational truth: the grace and life of the Gospel cannot be mixed with old, legalistic structures. We explore how to surrender old mindsets so God can pour His "new wine" into flexible, renewed hearts. 💭 Drop a Comment: What is an "old wineskin" mindset or habit that God has helped you surrender to make room for His grace?
