New
or Old?
There
are some things in the Christian’s life that new should not be injected into
the old.
“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins…”[Mk.2:22,
NKJV]
In
the day Jesus said this, the literal was that someone would not put new wine in
old skins. One reason was the new wine could expand more and tear the old wine
skin, losing all.
On
the other hand, one parabolic, symbolic meaning was God could not inject a
person’s old self with the new of the Holy Spirit. A new creature had to be
made to receive a new way.
Being
saved, knowing Christ creates that new person who becomes a living partner with
Jesus Himself. Old things are passing away.
