Are you (we) an old wine skin?

This was my blog today, I thought it was kind of cute.

Are You An Old Wine Skin?

Jesus said no one likes new wine at first but prefers the old. And you can't pour new wine into an old wine skin. We humans are all old wine skins! We are like slow plodding oxen. It takes us a while to accept something new. There's the old wine of ET (eternal torment) or ECT (eternal conscious torment) that has been taught to us. ..And may I mention here, that torture, also - starts with a T!

There's the old wine of rules and regulations, "the law". The trying to earn salvation (life), the struggle of 'being good enough'. A valuable and necessary lesson, but wouldn't the best it could ever do - be forever struggle? Instead God, the Almighty Father, is writing that goodness upon every heart, mind and psyche. He is making Truth a part of us. Writing it in our very DNA. And Jesus is the example - the mold, the prototype.

And He, being forever "first born" and Lord of all lords, as well as "high priest forever" is working with the Father. They are scribing, etching and engraving within us, the bare boned fact that God alone is Life. There is no other life (we can have). Not successfully. It can only ever be tribulation (suffering), and apocalypse, ending in death. A literal non-being-ness. To lack life, and thus consciousness or awareness.

Jesus sits at the table and says "come and eat".. the bread and new wine of the new covenant. (And how often do we need to eat and drink?)

The New Covenant - of how Jesus died for the sins of the world and He has overcome the world. It was all UR! From the first sacrifice. From the creation of Adam and Eve. Or before anything at all was created. We can know that, because of His Word and logic. ("Logos", root of the word logic!)

Life(God) is good! He "is perfect" (Mt.5:48). Perfect makes no mistakes, can lose nothing, and the 'end' result can only be the utter best one possible.
