How is Jesus` teaching like fresh wine requiring fresh wineskins?
"Jesus used it to show the incongruity of mixing His gospel with the Judaistic system" Others try to package Jesus' "wine" in the wineskins of modern concepts. They respect the "aged wine", but feel it needs to be re-packaged. Jesus is saying, though not openly, just as you don't fast while the bridegroom's hosts the wedding celebration, neither should my disciples fast while I am ushering in the Kingdom of God. It is a time for celebration, not for mourning. Then he adds, darkly, "But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; in those days they will fast" (5:35). Jesus knew that his crucifixion and death lay ahead and refers to it here.

How is Jesus` teaching like fresh wine requiring fresh wineskins?

JESUS came to spread the good news and to begin a new covenant with man so his FATHER's will would be done. His minstry challenged the people of the day to aspire to a greater level of faith, love, peacefulness and understanding. In the end, I interpret the people of the day like old wineskins (believing in the original convenant/message). Once JESUS came with his teachings (fresh wine) he was opening their minds and in a way challenging them to become like new wineskins (or able to receive and absorb his message). For, if the people of the day did not open their hearts to receive JESUS, the new message would not be absorbed by the people and thusly would burst the old wineskin mindset.

When we give our lives to God we have to take on the new life and leave the old life. New creation, new spirit!
