Read Luke 5:33-39

RELIGIOUS LEADERS ASK JESUS ABOUT FASTING
Jesus knew His death was coming. After that time, fasting would be in order. Although He was fully human, Jesus knew He was God and why He had to come: to die for the sins of the world.
Wineskins were goatskins sewn together at the edges to form water tight bags. Because new wine expands while it ages, it has to be put into new, pliable wineskins. A used skin, having become more rigid, would burst and spill the wine.
Like old wineskins, the Pharisees were too rigid to accept Jesus, who could not be contained in their traditions and rules. Christianity required new approaches, new traditions, new structures. Our church programs and ministries should not be so structured that they have no room for a fresh touch of the Holy Spirit, a new method, or a new idea. You, too, must be careful that your heart does not become so rigid that it prevents you from accepting new ways of thinking that Christ brings. You need to keep your heart pliable so you can accept Jesus’ life changing method.
