The Pharisees had a unique ability to turn God’s blessings into burdens, expecting the people of Israel to keep the rules they created. Jesus, however, exposed their erroneous theology. As Alistair Begg explains, Jesus’ theology sparked controversy because it contradicted the Pharisees’ teaching that rule-keeping and good works would earn eternal life. The only work that can save us is the work of Jesus. Are we trusting in Him alone for our salvation?
18Now kJohn's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, l“Why do John's disciples and mthe disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19And Jesus said to them, n“Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20oThe days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and pthen they will fast in that day. 21No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22And no one puts new wine into old qwineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.”3
