Re:Verse passage – Luke 5:33-39 (day seven)
“But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.” vs 38
Speaking in what would seem to be riddles, Jesus was getting the people ready for what was to come. The weakness of the flesh made the Law incomplete (Rom 8:3), so Jesus was bringing something new, something fresh: a new covenant.
“And He who sits on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.'” Revelation 21:5
Speaking again in what would seem to be riddles, Jesus is getting us ready for what is to come. The weakness of the flesh made this world incomplete, so Jesus is bringing something new, something fresh: a new earth.
“They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:23 (KJV)
No riddles, but still, the message remains the same. Though our flesh may make us feel incomplete, Jesus is bringing His mercies new and fresh every morning! What new mercies does God have in store for you today?
