Podcast 207 -- New Wine, Old Wineskins Mark 2:18-22

Jesus faces questioning as to why he and his disciples are not fasting when the Pharisees are. Jesus uses this opportunity to preview the idea of a New Covenant, where ritual and tradition give way to faith and relationship. Cross-referencing this week's verse with Jeremiah 31:31-34, we explore the tension between obeying the letter of Old Testament law as revealed to Moses and following spiritual guidance gained from knowledge of Christ.
