Peace be upon all of us, opposition – the opposition between the old and the rising generation is often the case, the young generation is often suspected, doubtful, and often considered not to know what to think a little creative, innovative and progressive-minded began to be seen as a dissident. It is not uncommon for us to hear that used to be better, This time is not as good as it used to be true as it is said in the gospels that the old wine is good (lk. 5:39) .
so I try to understand and understand the word in the Gospels concerning the new cloth of old clothes and concerning the new wine of the old leather bag , my beloved brother the movement of Jesus is a new movement that appears in the world of the view of Jesus Judaism that was then lived and continued by his disciples from the time Jesus was with them until the early times of the preaching of the gospel often friction or contraryto the view of Judaism, such as fasting, the view on the Sabbath Day, about forgiveness, about unclean or ununclean food, about association with the people of Dursila and people who are considered sinful and also about the resurrection of the body.
It is true that the mission of Jesus is not to create a new religious institution but rather an awareness of faith based on love in the consciousness or belief that God is accompanying man, but this spiritual movement was not easily accepted and often friction with the world of Judaism it self and Jesus finally died by the opposition but apparently the death of Jesus is precisely the divine moment to show the consciousness of faith that has been preached by yesus, the death of Jesus is not a failure but rather a beginning of the revival of new spirituality, through death and resurrection this new faith movement of consciousness is increasingly known and widespread.
My brother, this movement of Jesus is thought to be a new cloth and it is also an example of new wine, if applied to a mindset that has been so rigid and well established that always suspect novelty, then it would be to stick a new cloth on an old shirt or put a new wine on a bag of old leather and can be both broken apart. Because it takes its own container, the new container for this movement of Jesus and the new container is Church or Christianity. Apart from Judaism, Christianity becomes a new container to preserve, to live the spiritual movement that comes from Jesus. Christianity is no longer regarded as a sect of Judaism, so it is always dealing with the world of Judaism.
To this day the church continues to preserve and strive to preserve the purity - of Jesus ' teachings because that is in the creed of our faith always reveals I believe in the Holy one of the Catholic Church and its apostolic. We are the current generation heirs of the teaching of faith guarded by the successors of the Apostles, the Bishops. my brother Jesus is a new cloth and wine while the church is a new garment and bag of leather. God bless us all ~https://renungansingkatkatolik.blogspot.com/2020/07/anggur-baru-dan-kantong-tua.html
