Matthew 9:14-17 – True religion
Sermon from Andrew Scully on Matthew 9:14-17 19/6/16 am – True religion
Extract
14 Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often,[a] but Your disciples do not fast?”
15 And Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Main Points
1. True religion isn’t about external acts
2. True religion recognises who Jesus is
3. True religion doesn’t connect with false religion
