Out with the old and in with the new!

‘No one puts new wine into old wineskins;’ Mark 2:22 NKJV
As a new creation, you’re no longer controlled by your old behaviour but by your relationship with Christ. You may have been given a new uniform at work when they rebranded and remodelled the business, but if your sullen attitude remains the same, then it’s like putting new wine into old wineskin. Jesus says we’re bound to fail because ‘… the new wine bursts the wineskins, … and the wineskins are ruined …’ (Mark 2:22 NKJV).
But don’t we do the same when it comes to our Christian walk? The new wine of honesty-at-work, poured into the old wineskin of cutting corners. The new wine of unconditional love, poured into the old wineskin of hatred for the family two doors down. The new wine of worship, poured into the old wineskin of idolising money, power, music, or the latest video game. The new wine of Bible study, poured into the old wineskin of ‘gotta-go-pop-tart-for-breakfast' busyness. The new wine of humility, poured into the old wineskin of conceit. The new wine of forgiveness, poured into the old wineskin of bitterness. The new wine of others first, poured into the old wineskin of selfish ambition. The new wine of joy, poured into the old wineskin of jealousy and factions. The new wine of peace, poured into the old wineskin of discord.’ If any of this sounds familiar, it’s time to ditch the old wineskin and let God make you a powerful, new, clean vessel.
