Jesus Keeps Me I do believe Jesus is talking to the Pharisees about why the disciples did not fast. Jesus is using an illustration to tell them that because Jesus is with them there is no need to fast by talking about new patches of cloth in old garments and about putting new wine into old wine skins. The old covenant required fasting, the new covenant is Jesus. There was no need for the disciples to observe old laws, when a new covenant of grace was with them, it was time to do things differently. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

Hi, Bowler... The only command in the Law for fasting was on Yom Kippur (Leviticus 23:27). Furthermore, the notion of fasting as a practice that has ceased to be normative for the church, would seem inconsistent with Jesus' directives in Matthew 6:16. I think that this is less about covenant, than it is about the establishment of kingdom of God being now through the church. Just my two widow's mites on the matter. In Him, Doc |

Doc Help my understand you better about the establishment of the kingdom of God now being through the church, and how that might be different from the new covenant of Jesus (the way in which people are now going to be in a relationship with God)? I don't think you are wrong and I am right only I am trying to see what you mean about the church. There was no church yet. John the Baptist, his followers and the Pharisees were all fasting, maybe it was Yom Kippur? :-) Seriously how about Sabbath day fasting, "you shall do no work?" Exodus 31:15, as the law? So they would have to fast? Could it be that verses 18-22 are part of the same day as verses 23-28, the Sabbath day? I could be very wrong? Brain teaser - why were the disciples of John and the Pharisees fasting? Or were they? In Luke it does not say they were, it says that they often did so maybe it wasn't the Sabbath? So many questions. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler In Leviticus 23:27 "humble, or afflict yourselves" refers to fasting? |
