The Parables of New Cloth and New Wineskins
“No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”
The Vision
The Story of the Art
- The Vibrant Patch: On the left, the colorful, geometric cloth is stitched onto a rigid frame. This represents the failure of "Religious Compromise"—trying to patch the radical grace of Christ onto an old life of legalism. The result is a tear that is worse than before.
- The Bursting Skins: On the right, the wineskins are sagging and cracking under pressure. This represents the "New Wine" of the Holy Spirit, which is alive and expanding. A heart that is rigid and set in its ways (the old skin) cannot contain it.
- The Dark Drip: The stains dripping from the skins represent the cost of stubbornness. When we refuse to become new vessels, the skin is ruined, and the precious wine is wasted.
- The Lesson: This design illustrates that God is not interested in patching your old life. He demands a total renovation—a heart that is pliable, flexible, and ready to expand with His grace.
