Mark 2:21-22

There comes a point in a believer’s life when they realize that to be a true follower of Jesus Christ nothing in their life can remain the same. Society and its norms, religion and its traditions no longer fit the changes that are brought about by the power of the Holy Spirit in us.

Mark records only four of Jesus’ parables—two of which he includes here. The comparison implies that the newness of His message, and of the new covenant to follow, cannot fit into the old molds of Judaism.

Mark 2:21-22

21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; or else the new piece pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
