-Introduction:
-We’re back in Luke 5 this morning.
-We’re going to be continuing our study...
…of the event that we started covering last week.
-Remember what had happened:
Jesus was questioned as to why...
...His disciples didn’t conduct themselves the same way:
The disciples of the Pharisees, and
Even the disciples of John the Baptist did!
In particular...
(and probably in light of their recent celebration with Matthew and his friends)
…they asked him why HIS disciples...
…didn’t fast and pray (regularly) like they did.
-We saw that what was REALLY underlying the question...
…was their angst and confusion...
…over the failure of Jesus’ disciples to subscribe...
…to the nearly universally accepted notion...
…of religious piety through asceticism (self-affliction).
They were seeing something notably different...
…in the way Christ’s disciples were living their lives before God.
-Last week we looked at Jesus’ first explanation of this difference.
He gave it through an illustration.
He told them something they all knew very well...
That weddings were for celebration...
...not for mourning and self-affliction.
And told them that it would be IMPROPER for the “wedding guests” (his disciples)...
…to continue to be in dissatisfied longing...
…Now that the “bridegroom” (Jesus) had showed up to the party...
…in anticipation of receiving His bride.
So, keep this in mind as we read his other responses in our text.
-We’ll start back at the beginning as we read...
…and we’ll jump back in where we left off.
Luke 5:33–39 (ESV)
33 And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.”
34 And Jesus said to them, “Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.”
36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment.
If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.
37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins.
If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.
38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’

Verse 36:
-We’re going to jump back in at verse 36.
There, Jesus continues to give (somewhat of) a cryptic explanation...
…for the differences of those who follow him...
…to even the disciples of John the Baptist
In one sense this surprises us, since John:
Had been clearly identified as the Messianic forerunner...
He HIMSELF had rebuked:
the Pharisees,
and much of the rest of 1st Century Judaism!
But in another sense it shouldn’t surprise us at all...
…because we have already seen where Jesus HIMSELF...
…had implied a decisive distinction:
Luke 7:28 (ESV)
28 I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John.
Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

Remember what this meant:
John:
The last of the Old Covenant Prophets.
Reaffirmed Its call to righteousness...
But he simultaneously:
Pointed out the people’s failure to obey that call...
And called them to true repentance...
...In preparation of
the Kingdom that Jesus had come to establish...
The Covenant that He had come to cut!
Verse 36 helps us to better understand:
How He planned to do that
How the two relate
What that means for the religious differences between:
Jesus’ disciples...
The disciples of ANYONE else!
Let’s read it again:
Luke 5:36 (ESV)
36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment.
If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

What we have here (as we understand it in our day)...
…is an extended metaphor.
In their day, it would have been considered to be a parable.
It’s a fairly simple one on the surface...
(though, given the wealth of our society in general...
…its simplicity may be lost to us)
It begins with a garment (article of clothing):
One that is Old.
One that is in disrepair.
One whose value has been diminished...
…through factors external to it.
One that (in its current condition)...
…is Insufficient to fully cover…
…the nakedness of the one who wears it.
-So, the question is…
…what should be done with it?
