The Parable of New Wineskins seems to be about abandoning the old and replacing it with the new. But what if the old and new are both needed? What happens when our traditions are not to be lost when our imagination invites new growth?
Jesus spent most of his time teaching people about God’s Kingdom (or Kin-dom), and used this unique teaching tool – parables – to engage people. They are creative and thought-provoking, relevant and insightful. Jesus also used these stories to teach people about the values of this new way of love and justice…this counter-cultural way of being human.
AND…they are more applicable to our context than we could ever imagine!
