Scripture: Matthew 9:17, "Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."
I have read this verse before, but it never really stood out to me like it did today. In my mind, this relates back to our relationship with Christ and when we accept Him. When we accept Christ into our lives, our lives MUST change. We simply cannot go on living the way we had been before with all the sin in our lives. Doing that would be the same as what this verse is talking about. You don't pour new wine (Christ's presence and love) into old wineskins (your old sinful, lusty, temptation-filled, broken life). They just don't mix. But when you start living for Christ, let Him fill your new life. Let him change your life for the better. Don't remain what you were, but be transformed into a new person, into a new wineskin, and let Him fill that.
