Mark 2:21-22 No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up takes away from the old… God's forces not to be fettered by man. You cannot thrust life into human moulds. I. Every force has a definite mode of action. Spring does not produce the same results as autumn, nor can young converts yield the same fruits as aged saints. II. To coerce these forces into human channels is impossible. No one dress will fit all men. If you want to alter men's habits begin by changing their principles. III. It is only wise and safe to act with God. Learn the methods of the Spirit's working and follow them. (D. Davies, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. |
