The Parable Of The Old Wineskins

The Parable Of The Old Wineskins

(A Teaching On The Old And New Covenants)

Matthew 9:14-17

“Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?” And Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.  No one puts a piece of un-shrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”"

You Are...Fulfilled And Satisfied

Last week we had a look at Jesus' statement in John 6:35 when He said,

“I Am The Bread Of Life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.”

This week, as a parallel, my "You Are" verses focus on the fact that as a Christian you are fulfilled and satisfied!

I pray these thoughts can encourage us today and embolden us to share the goodness of Jesus with those who hunger and thirst for more than what the world has to offer.

I Am The Bread Of Life

John 6:35 reads,

"And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst."
