Description
Episode 9 — The Bridegroom, the Fast, and the Wineskins (Mark 2:18 –22)
Why weren’t Jesus’ disciples fasting like everyone else? The Pharisees and John’s followers thought devotion meant going without. But Jesus flips the script: this isn’t a funeral — it’s a wedding feast. He calls Himself the Bridegroom, claiming the covenant role of God Himself, and warns that His kingdom isn’t a patch for old religion. It’s new wine that can’t be contained in brittle skins.
In this episode we explore:
- Why fasting mattered so much in the first century.
- What it meant for Jesus to call Himself the Bridegroom.
- The sharp warning of the wineskins parable.
- How this passage still challenges our traditions today.
Jesus doesn’t just fit into our categories — He breaks them. The question is, are we clinging to the old because it feels safe, or stepping into the joy of His kingdom?
