“Old and New Vessels”

Matthew 9:14-17

“Old and New Vessels”

I.          Fasting in the Old Testament vs New Testament

A.     Old Testament (On Screen) MT 9:14 14 Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?” 

B.      New Testament Fasting (On Screen) MT 9:15b “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast

II.          Who is the Bridegroom?

(On Screen) MT 9:15a “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? 

Rev 19:7; Rev 21:9; Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 5:23-24

III.          Old Skin Vs New Skin; Change is on the way!

(On Screen) MT 9:16-17 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made. 17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.”

Romans 9:30-33; Romans 10:1-4; 1 Timothy 1:8-10
