36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the newaagreeth not with the old.
37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the abottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
I was reading this book by this psychotherapist M Scott Peck (Civility Rediscovered
) and the author was talking about how if one person in a relationship gets help with something then the relationship must change or the relationship will "fail" (the couple might sludge through it ... but it won't be a "healthy" relationship). And in the footnotes he linked this idea to scripture in Luke 5.I have a hard time with reading the scriptures because I feel like I just don't relate to a lot of them. But when I hear parables told in modern day story fashion, I find the scriptures resonate with me better.
