Evening: Psalm 103; Mark 2:18-22
In the 60s, we sewed patches on our jeans. Now, jeans come with large holes. Fashions come and go. Jesus warns metaphorically against patching old garments with new, unshrunk cloth. He does this to signify that his message invites a radical transformation. Sometimes we wrap Jesus’s message in faddish or fashionable packaging that only betrays our insatiable need for ‘something new’ to keep us interested. Jesus calls us to break free of fashionable fads and venture into his radically new way of life, the life that transforms us and those around ... not ‘more of the same’ in fancier clothes.
