A New Wineskin

A New Wineskin

(un Odre Nuevo)

I want to ask you, are you really ready for something new?

Are you ready for real change that will truly alter your life?

Though Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He always seeks to radically and continually change those who follow Him.

(Él siempre busca cambiar radical y continuamente a aquellos que lo siguen.)

says,

17 Por lo tanto, si alguno está en Cristo, es una nueva creación.

¡Lo viejo ha pasado, ha llegado ya lo nuevo!

Yet, most people are not really ready for the kind of newness and change that Jesus wants to bring.

We find an example of this in our text in .

Which we will read in a few min…

I just want to give you a quick background what was going on…before we read the verse..

Jesus had been invited to a party at the home of Levi, otherwise known as Matthew, who had recently joined up with the Lord and His disciples.

At the party was an assortment of people that would have been classified, at least by a devout Jewish person, as the scum of the earth.

(En la fiesta había una variedad de personas que habrían sido clasificadas, al menos por una persona judía devota, como la escoria de la tierra.)

The religious leaders couldn’t figure out why someone like Jesus would have anything to do with that sort of crowd.. but Jesus explained that the healthy don’t need a doctor, and that He had come to save that very sort of sinful people.

The religious leaders of that day were bothered by how differently Jesus and His disciples behaved and lived.

To answer them, Jesus gave the parables of the cloth and the wineskins,

(Los líderes religiosos de ese día se sintieron molestos por la manera diferente en que Jesús y sus discípulos se comportaron y vivieron.

Para responderles, Jesús dio las parábolas de la tela y los odres.)

Luke 5:30-39

30 Pero los fariseos y los maestros de la ley que eran de la misma secta les reclamaban a los discípulos de Jesús:

—¿Por qué comen y beben ustedes con recaudadores de impuestos y pecadores?

31 —No son los sanos los que necesitan médico, sino los enfermos —les contestó Jesús—.

32 No he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores para que se arrepientan.

33 Algunos le dijeron a Jesús:

—Los discípulos de Juan ayunan y oran con frecuencia, lo mismo que los discípulos de los fariseos, pero los tuyos se la pasan comiendo y bebiendo.

34 Jesús les replicó:

—¿Acaso pueden obligar a los invitados del novio a que ayunen mientras él está con ellos?

35 Llegará el día en que se les quitará el novio; en aquellos días sí ayunarán.

36 Les contó esta parábola:

—Nadie quita un retazo de un vestido nuevo para remendar un vestido viejo.

De hacerlo así, habrá rasgado el vestido nuevo, y el retazo nuevo no hará juego con el vestido viejo.

37 Ni echa nadie vino nuevo en odres viejos.

De hacerlo así, el vino nuevo hará reventar los odres, se derramará el vino y los odres se arruinarán.

38 Más bien, el vino nuevo debe echarse en odres nuevos.

39 Y nadie que haya bebido vino añejo quiere el nuevo, porque dice: “El añejo es mejor”.

After the religious crowd questioned the kind of people that Jesus was hanging out with, they then brought another question regarding His religious practices.

(Después de que la multitud religiosa cuestionó la clase de personas con las que Jesús estaba saliendo, luego formularon otra pregunta con respecto a sus prácticas religiosas.)

Look at verse 33.

They asked, “…Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?”

The religious crowd of that day, and apparently the disciples of John the Baptist, held to a strict regimen of fasting and prayers.

They would pray at specific times each day (usually where everyone could see them), and they would fast at least two days a week.

You see; Pharisees liked the group of people they normally ran around with.

It was a crowd they were comfortable with and made them feel good about themselves.

Yet, Jesus was saying that those old ties and relationships were something He wasn’t interested in.

But here was Jesus and His disciples feasting it up with a bunch of sinners.

His routine was radically different from theirs.

Jesus explained to them that while He was with His disciples,  it was something like a wedding feast.

(Pero aquí estaba Jesús y sus discípulos festejando con un montón de pecadores.

Su rutina era radicalmente diferente a la de ellos.

Jesús les explicó que mientras estaba con sus discípulos, era algo como un banquete de bodas.)

He was the bridegroom, and they were celebrating with Him.

There would come a time when His disciples would need to fast, but it was not then.

A wedding in Jesus day was an occasion that brought joy into the lives of poor and simple people.

It was a time of rejoicing, festivity and plenty that might only come once in a lifetime.

The Pharisees were very religious and focused on rules and regulations to the extent that they had NO JOY! Why?

Because legalistic religion does not bring joy.

It brings misery.

(Los fariseos eran muy religiosos y se centraban en las reglas y regulaciones en la medida en que no tenían NINGUNA ALEGRÍA.

¿Por qué?

Porque la religión legalista no trae alegría.

Trae miseria.)

Jesus has been calling his disciples and displaying a different lifestyle to them.

He is not behaving in the manner of John and his disciples.

He is not behaving as the Pharisees.

He is being Jesus – sitting with sinners, eating and drinking with them.

He is healing the sick and forgiving sins – all way too radical for the Pharisees.

(Jesús ha estado llamando a sus discípulos y mostrándoles un estilo de vida diferente.

Él no se está comportando como Juan y sus discípulos.

Él no se está comportando como los fariseos.

Él está siendo Jesús, sentado con los pecadores, comiendo y bebiendo con ellos.

Él está sanando a los enfermos y perdonando los pecados, demasiado radical para los fariseos.)

He is not submitting to the way that things ‘should’ be done.

When he is questioned on this – he shares the above parable about the new garment and the new wineskin.

He is declaring a new way of life.

A new way of living.

Wineskins where created from animal skins that were processed and treated in such a way that they would expand and stretch along with the new wine as it fermented.

Wineskins were bags made of skin or leather, usually a goat hide tied or sown together

(Los odres se creaban a partir de pieles de animales que se procesaban y trataban de manera que se expandieran y estiraran junto con el vino nuevo a medida que fermentaba.

Los odres eran bolsas hechas de piel o cuero, generalmente una piel de cabra atada o sembrada)

As the new wine fermented and expanded, it would stretch the new wineskins.

(A medida que el nuevo vino fermentaba y se expandía, estiraría los nuevos odres.)

Putting new (unfermented) wine in old wineskins, which had already been stretched and somewhat dried out, would result in the bursting of the wineskins.

(Poner vino nuevo (sin fermentar) en odres viejos, que ya se ha estirado y se ha secado un poco, daría lugar a la explosión de los odres.)

Too often, however, we cling to that which is familiar and comfortable, essentially rejecting the “new wine” of God’s kingdom.

(Sin embargo, con demasiada frecuencia nos aferramos a lo que nos resulta familiar y cómodo, rechazando esencialmente el "vino nuevo" del reino de Dios.)

I believe as a church God is calling us and giving us a rema word a now word for 2019…

New Wine requires New Wineskins.

(El vino nuevo requiere odres nuevos.)

The old practice of sacrificing lambs to atone for people’s sins was no longer adequate, because the faultless Lamb of God arrived who would make the perfect sacrifice of himself.

(La vieja práctica de sacrificar corderos para expiar los pecados de las personas ya no era adecuada, porque llegó el Cordero de Dios impecable que haría el sacrificio perfecto de sí mismo.)

The priestly system was no longer necessary when the Great High Priest had come.

He Himself would be the ultimate sacrifice for sin, so the sacrificial system would no longer be necessary.

(El sistema sacerdotal ya no era necesario cuando el Gran Sumo Sacerdote había venido.

Él mismo sería el último sacrificio por el pecado, por lo que el sistema de sacrificios ya no sería necesario.)

Can you imagine still sacrificing goats and bulls when Jesus has paid the price for our sins?

It was no longer commandments written on stone, but commandments that were written on the heart.
