New Wine and Old Wineskins
No one tears a piece from a new garment and sews it on an old garment; otherwise, not only will one tear the new garment, but the piece from the new will not match the old garment. Similarly, no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins and will spill out, and the skins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
Luke 5:36-38
Religious leaders asked why Jesus' disciples feasted while others fasted. His answer: what has arrived in him cannot be stitched onto old routines as a patch.
New wine still ferments and expands. Old skins, stretched and rigid, cannot flex with it. Jesus is not condemning what is old but declaring that his life demands new capacity: structures, habits, and hearts that can stretch.
When Jesus begins something new in you, do not pour it into unchanged routines and expect them to hold. Let him renew the container, your schedule, your assumptions, your heart, along with the contents.
