<p>In today's parable, the patch of unshrunk cloth and the new wine symbolize Jesus and the gospel He conveys. Jesus and His gospel are entirely different from the outdated beliefs held by the Pharisees. Furthermore, they stand in stark contrast to the culture, civilization, knowledge, traditions, customs, and laws of this world.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, when one lives by faith according to Jesus' teachings, it inevitably manifests in a unique and distinct manner. Consequently, individuals may draw attention and receive either criticism or praise, in accordance with the words of Jesus. This is what is meant by becoming the light and salt of the world.</p><p> </p><p><i>Excerpt from the sermon by Pastor Lee, Feb 1, 2024.</i></p><p><i>Mar 2:18-22</i></p>
