499th Post Jesus Parables Con't. - The New & Old Wineskins - Luke 5: 36 - 39.

Luke 5: 36 - 39; Matthew 9: 16 - 17; Mark 2: 21 - 22. The New & The Old Wineskins.
No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one;  otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old.  And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined.  But new wine must be put into new wineskins and both are preserved.  And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, "The old is better."
Jesus spoke these words about 1.1/2 years into His earthly Ministry.  The first story was about patching a garment.  You are to use a piece of cloth from an older garment because it has already shrunk and faded, making the match of the patch closer to the garment being patched.  If you use a new patch, the new patch will shrink and tear the old garment being repaired.  The wineskins need to be new for new wine, because the new wine has to work, during the fermentation process.  The Old wineskins have already survived one new wine and is not strong enough to survive the fermentation process again.  You will not drink new wine right after you have drunk Old Wine, because the new wine has not become wine yet.  New wine is grape juice.
