Gospel of Mark - Mark 2:18-22 - Prog 16

In Mark 2:18-22 Mark records the question from some people who asked why Jesus’s disciples were not fasting. After all, the disciples of the Pharisees and those of John the Baptist were fasting. Jesus gives His answer by way of an analogy of the relationship between a bridegroom and his wedding guests. Our Lord then goes on to give an example of the practical reality of how unshrunk cloth on a old garment reacts. Then He also does the same thing with regards to how new wine, placed inside an old dried-up wineskin, affects the wineskin. Our Lord Jesus brings out the difference between the new and old, between the law and grace. As John wrote, John 1:17, “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” Here is Dr. Mitchell, Mark 2:18 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/unchanging-word/message
