The word wine is mentioned about 231 times in the King James Version. In Luke 5:37-38, the Bible reminds us that no man putteth new wine into old bottles and In verse 38 it reminds us that new wine must be put in new bottles to preserve both the wine and the bottle. Our monthly theme “NEW WINE” is taken from the book of Mark 2:22 where the Bible illustrates further that new wine cannot be put into old bottles or “WINE SKIN” that new wine must be put into new bottles in order to preserve both.
The old wine skin or bottle will imply our “old self” unrepented and unchanged creation. Whereas the new wine skin or bottle will be our “repented” new self or creation that has been redeemed and sanctified once and forever by the precious blood of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
We will see why Christ warns that putting a new wine in an old bottle will burst and destroy the old bottle. The heavenly principle that “LIGHT WILL DESTROY DARKNESS” is very evident in the parable. So if we combine our old self (life without Christ) with the “HOLY SPIRIT” we are bound for massive destruction and eternal condemnation.
Brethren do we sincerely give thought to our old ways, our anger issues, our bitterness issues, our drinking and smoking binges, our harlotry, idolatry, envy, jealousy, greed, pride. Etc.
The Lord will help us make a case for NEW WINE in Jesus Name Amen. May we not fall back into our own vomit! God will anoint our eyes so that we may see Rev. 3:18
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
