The calling of Matthew and his subsequent lack of reputable friends becomes an occasion for more than the recruiting of a new disciple. In that time Jesus also takes the opportunity to challenge the drinkers of “old wine” that they don’t even want the new wine. What is the new wine, and the new wineskin? It is the coming of the Kingdom. It’s the fulfilling of God’s promise to his people, and the breaking out of that Kingdom with the coming of Jesus. No wonder it bursts the old wineskins.
