Matthew 9:14-17, NIV
Map: no fasting when bridegroom is with them-symbolise happiness or rejoicing not mourning. New wine do not put it in old wineskins..the skins will burst, new wine to put in new wineskins-symbolise new beginning.
Matthew 9:14-17
[14]Then the followers of John the Baptist came to Jesus, asking, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast at all?”
[15]Jesus answered, “Do you expect the guests at a wedding party to be sad as long as the bridegroom is with them? Of course not! But the day will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
[16]“No one patches up an old coat with a piece of new cloth, for the new patch will shrink and make an even bigger hole in the coat.
[17]Nor does anyone pour new wine into used wineskins, for the skins will burst, the wine will pour out, and the skins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins, and both will keep in good condition.”
