Old Gives Way To New

This Kingdom, as demonstrated most vividly in the life of Christ, chafes against so many of the established patterns and structures in the world; even in those patterns and structures that have been established in the name of 'religion". Jesus uses two analogies to highlight these conflicting realities in this time of his early ministry - an unshrunk patch of cloth on an old garment and new wine being poured into new wineskins.
