The parable of wineskins and garments in Luke 5:36-39 is often misconstrued to mean that old is bad and new is good, but that wasn't the point at all. #yeshua made that clear when he said that "No one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’"
So, what was the point of that parable?
It has nothing to do with Torah and everything to do with spiritual and political leadership. A new circumstances or a new people often requires new leaders and those new leaders must age and mature along with their people. If you try to force the old leadership structure to work with the new circumstances, you risk destroying both of them. Yeshua was about to replace the old order of the Pharisees and Sadducees with the new order of the Disciples.

Thought for Today: Friday September 30:
YHVH Elohiym is your best Friend as well as you King. Walk hand in hand with Him through your life. Together you will face whatever each day may bring -- pleasures, hardship, adventure or disappointment. Nothing is wasted when it is shared with Adonai. He can bring beauty out of ashes of lost dreams. He can glean Joy out of sorrow and Peace out of adversity. Only a Friend who is also the King of kings could accomplish the divine alchemy. There is none other like Him. The friendship He is offering you is practical and down-to-earth, yet it is saturated with heavenly Glory. Living in His Presence means living in two realms simultaneously: the visible world and unseen, eternal reality. He has equipped you to stay conscious of Him while walking along dusty earth-bounds paths.
