Luke 5:37 And no man putteth new wine
into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and
the bottles shall perish.
Luke 5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
Luke 5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

New wine is unfermented grape juice. As it is aged it ferments
and expands so that it would burst old wine skins; new wine skins were needed. A
person addicted to alcohol in wine would prefer the old wine and not the new
grape juice. This is a metaphor of the old and the new covenants. The Pharisees
of the Lord's time were addicted to the old wine of the law with their many man
made laws added to them. The old covenant was mixed with manmade laws and
traditions. Jesus warned his disciples of the leaven of the Pharisees; the
sinful legalism of added rules to put people into bondage.
The new wine represented the fresh and pure new covenant. The
refreshing life giving gospel of faith and grace through the work of Jesus Christ. The truth of the Living Word of God delivered in person by the Son of
God.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Heb 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be
touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and
tempest,
Heb 12:19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
Heb 12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
Heb 12:21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Heb 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
