What Did Jesus Mean When He Talked About Wineskins?

In John 1:17, it’s highlighted that the law was given through Moses, while grace and truth came through Jesus Christ, revealing our need for a Savior. In Matthew 9, Jesus challenges the religious mindset, urging His disciples to embrace a transformative way of thinking, illustrated by the analogy of new wine needing new wineskins. He redefined religious expectations, reaching out to the unclean and the unworthy, emphasizing that He came for those aware of their need for redemption. Pastor Ben notes that to fully live in the New Covenant, we must shed old mindsets and embrace our identity in Christ, allowing us to receive the fullness of God’s promises and demonstrate His miraculous power in our lives. 3/16/25 | Vida Church
