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.
