What It Means To Be a Disciple of Jesus Christ—The Parables of Cloth and Wineskins

Speaker: Lud Kiramidjian

Date: 7/5/25

Early in the ministry of Jesus Christ, Jesus spoke two similar parables that are misunderstood or ignored by much of traditional Christianity. These parables are referred to as “The Parable of New Cloth on an Old Garment” and “The Parable of New Wine in Old Wineskins”. The lessons Jesus intended to convey through these parables are extremely important --- because they explain the heart-and-core of what Jesus expects of anyone who is or who wants to become His disciple. This sermon explains the true intent of these parables, and contrasts that with the main false interpretation that is commonly taught by traditional Christianity.
