Lesson 4072

 (Lesson 4072)(03-16-23) Matthew 9:14-17

    “Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.”

    In today’s quote, Jesus, by using the analogies, made it clear that the there could be NO mixing of the old laws of the Jews with the new law of faith.

    With  knowledge that NO person can live a life worthy of eternal salvation under the old law, God sent His Son, Jesus, to live a perfect life according to those laws so that anyone who believes in Him can receive His righteousness by faith in His shed blood. Thereby becoming sinless in the sight of God through the righteousness of Jesus.~
