New Wine in Old Wineskins !

No one puts new wine in old wineskins
New wine on fermenting builds up pressure,
Inevitably causes the bursting of the skins,
The wine spills,also destroys the container,
New wine must be put into fresh wineskins.

So doing both wine and skins are preserved,
No man having drunk old wine desires new,
For him the old is better thus he preferred,
The Holy Spirit ferments the believer anew,
Jewish leaders drank old wine,as they wished.

So drunk they killed the Messiah their master,
Gentiles accepted new covenant and new wine,
But the jews rejected the grace of God for ever,
For empty old skin they denied salvation benign,
New wine of the new covenant always sweeter.

Luke 5:37-38
