 We continued in our journey through Mark with Pastor Phil last Sunday.
Jesus took the religious efforts of Sabbath and Fasting that the Jews of His day were putting so much stock in...and instructed them that His ministry was much more important!
The calling of Jesus was to a new Way in which God was working...that fulfilled the Law. Jesus didn't come to reform Judaism, He brought something totally new to our relationship with God!
Jesus uses an illustrations of "wineskins" to illustrate the new "structure" of the Kingdom He was bringing:
"And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins." Mark 2:22
Jesus clearly teaches and demonstrates that He is bringing a new way--a way of ministry for people to have a right relationship with God!
