Lk 5:37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.
Lk 5:38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.
Lk 5:39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’ "
Here is what came to my
mind, but it is imperative that you run this past God, and see what He wants you
to see from this verse.
I feel like it speaks of
the transformation that goes on inside of us, as we seek a deeper relationship
with God, through the reading of His Word, and being Obedient to that Word. It
is in this way He prepares our hearts to truly Believe and put our Faith
in the Blood of Jesus for our salvation and nothing else.
The more we seek to understand Him, and build a true relationship
with Him, the more He will trust us enough to reveal Himself to us. The more
that we are obedient to His Word, the more our Faith will grow, because we see
His Promises that He makes to us through the written Word fulfilled in our
lives. There may be a circumcision of the heart , which comes from
renewing your thoughts, before it is made ready for these new revelations
that will soon follow. This usually takes time, and maybe even some
kicking and screaming to our old ways of thinking for a time. Lk 5:39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new,
for he says, ‘The old is better.’ He knows just the right time to give you the bread (His Word) that
you need in the time you need it, and when He knows you are most ready to
receive it. Too early, and it will just run into us, but maybe not affect us as
it could have if we were better prepared. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and
the wineskins will be ruined. Lk 5:38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.

The cup at the last
supper was wine, but symbolic of the blood of Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:25 In
the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new
covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of
me."
This covenant of
Christ was the new wine of Love and Grace (New Testament) rather
than the old wine (Old Testament) Law of Judgements,laws, and works of
salvation. Stuff they had to do on their own in order for salvation. We drink
the cup of His new covenant of Grace/love, resting in Peace once we believe His
Promise of salvation to us because of what He has done for us on the
cross, rather than what we can ever do for ourselves. No one will ever
make it into Heaven for any other reason than believing in the Blood of Christ
for salvation. When it says
Lk 5:39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new,
for he says, ‘The old is better
