Luke 5:36-39 (NIV)
36He told them this parable: "No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. 38No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. 39And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, 'The old is better.' "
I wonder if the disciples would have recognized the witty humor, insight and brillance in Jesus' teachings? What comparisons to ministry and church culture would be consistent with these words on new and old wineskins? I also wonder how verse 39 applies to today?
