This devotional explores Luke 5:36-38, where Jesus illustrates the contrast between old and new through the analogy of unshrunk cloth patches and new wine. The old garment represents outdated religious practices and beliefs, while the new patch signifies the fresh, transformative message of Jesus. By examining these metaphors, we delve into the new paradigm of faith that Jesus offers—salvation through faith, not through works. Join us as we reflect on how to embrace this new framework in our spiritual lives.
