We are made new in Christ so that we can absorb the truth beyond the parameters of the traditions of man. Our past can stop us from entering into the glory of God, don’t let it be a stumbling block, let go of it. Seek the truth and precept upon precept it will set you free!
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. The OT was preparation for the NT.
Mark 2:21-22
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.”
