Luke 5:33-39

The skins referred to by


the Lord Jesus were the vessels
or bags of wine, they were
made of cow skin at that time.
When the skin of wineskins is
old, it becomes rigid and
inflexible so it bursts. Jesus
began his ministry of teaching
on this earth. He was with a lot
of contradiction and reproach
for trying to change the
traditions and customs, but instead of starting a debate, he
began teaching figure of speeches in order to delineate his
point. So, this is the point of what Jesus said about the parable
he taught; when your heart and brain are not open to what
God surprises in a new challenge in our life and a new mission
that has been given to us by him. If you're not open and you're
being rigid, you know what are the rights and wrongs, you
know what would you do in the situations where you are in,
and nothing would open up your mind or heart to a person if
you are too strict or your heart and brain were hard. This kind
of hardiness and rigidity is the enemy of the new news that was
given by the gospel. In receiving and reading the gospel, we
should accept it with being our minds and hearts open. Don't
be rigid and be happy instead.
