Gospel
Luke 5:33-39
When the bridegroom is taken from them, then they will fast
The Pharisees and the scribes said to Jesus, ‘John’s disciples are always fasting and saying prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees too, but yours go on eating and drinking.’ Jesus replied, ‘Surely you cannot make the bridegroom’s attendants fast while the bridegroom is still with them? But the time will come, the time for the bridegroom to be taken away from them; that will be the time when they will fast.’
He also told them this parable, ‘No one tears a piece from a new cloak to put it on an old cloak; if he does, not only will he have torn the new one, but the piece taken from the new will not match the old.
‘And nobody puts new wine into old skins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and then run out, and the skins will be lost. No; new wine must be put into fresh skins. And nobody who has been drinking old wine wants new. “The old is good” he says.’
Reflection
There is so much different between those in the internet era and those after the internet era. Take example for the game of football. The old generation will run round the field in the rain to kick the ball but the new generation will play football in the handphone. Can you change their way of thinking ? I don't think so. Christ came to enhance the law in how we relate to God and our neighbors. The pharisees prefer to stick to the law where they are in control. Do you accept Christ teaching?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus, fill me with your Holy Spirit, that I may grow in the knowledge of your great love and truth.
Amen
