New Wineskins

^{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.  

below is a deeper view

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

It is like we all think we want the old in many situations because it is comfortable to us, even if it is hurting us. It is usually related to our way of thinking that we need to change. Old beliefs that we don't even know why we have ever believed that way. It could be beliefs passed down to us by our family. The group in the Bible called the Pharisees were very much into traditions of men, and upholding the law very strictly which that's all they had ever known. Jesus came preaching love and compassion a new way of believing. They were comfortable with the old way, it was how they made a living. If they could not force the law on people anymore or be a so called light for the blind, what would they do? Why would the people need them any longer to lead them spiritually if they could go to God directly by believing in Christ? This is a Biblically grounded statement that I making. They were sometimes using the laws of God to fear people into giving them money and stuff, and all these people just listened to what they said, because they had been taught to follow their religious leaders, and they did not have access to a New Testament Bible, it had not been written yet. Jesus came as the Word in Flesh form. Most of the Jews hated him for the things He did, because He was in direct violation of all the rules and laws they had ever been taught. It was new wine to them, and they felt more comfortable drinking the old enslaving wine. Christ was trying to show them the way to freedom was through love for God, and others. He knew that through love for others, rather than obligation to a law they would actually uphold the law. However in times where we are weak and break certain spiritual laws, Christ's blood covers that sin. On the Cross He casted our sins from the East to the West, (the position of his arms on the Cross). He will remember them no more. All we have to do is Trust in God and His promise. The rest will naturally come from it. Once we hear the Word of the Lord, the nudge on our hearts to do something, the still small voice we hear saying walk this way, we must be obedient to that Voice. No other voice but His Voice. We hear His Words and voice through reading His Word, the Bible. That is when you will REALLY HEAR HIM SPEAK. It's like your soul's recognition of it's counter part. You know the Truth and that Truth sets you free.
