Mark 2:21-22

There is a reason that new Christians are vulnerable...we are targets for Satan and the world and the worst thing that we can do is totally isolate ourselves. We are transformed precept by precept by the Holy Spirit. We need to be able to know what are the traditions of men and replace them with the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It takes time and we can become overly critical of others. God hates pride and He will use whatever it takes to mature us and learn the lessons that we need. It is a wonderful time where we are closest to our teacher, the Holy Spirit, but we need others to keep our feet on the ground where we reside.... at least for now. 

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

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.”
