Matthew 9:14-17 Old and New Wineskins (December 12, 2021 AM, Rev. Michael Grasso)

In Matthew 9:14-17 Christ shows that the entire Christian life must center on him. John's disciples wondered why Christ's disciples did not fast like they and the Pharisees did. Rather than conforming to the traditions of the Pharisees, Christ shows that all fasting must conform to the reality of his coming. This affects every area of life. Christ has not come to be the patch on the old garment of your living. Rather, he has come to be the entirely new clothing that you put on as a Christian.
