Dear all, Peng An,
This was a very interesting short parable pair. For me, Jesus used two different but related parables to express the incompatibility between the old tranditional system and the new innovation invention. The old system losted its flexibility and adaptability, while the new invention was full of vigor and energy. In the first parable, the contracting power of the new cloth would pull and tear the old clothes and aggravate the hole of the old system, but the new cloth would be still intact. In the second parable, the fermenting power of the new wine would burst open the old wineskin. But this time both the old wineskin and the new wine would suffer damage and loss at the bursting...
What Jesus advised was to store the new wine into the new wine skin, so as to preserve both. It seemed to be more revolutinary than renewal to me.
Personally, I got some other personal thoughts on these two parables. If you could dip the new cloth into the water to shrink it before mending it onto the hole of the old clothes, then it might help mending the old clothes without causing more damage. If you dip the old wineskin into water to make it more pliable and soft, then when you pour the new wine into that dipped old wineskin, the old wineskin might be able to hold up the new wine without bursting apart. Just some personal thoughts to share with you.....
