NEW WINE

The Gospel of the Kingdom was glorious;

The heart of the believer would be joyous.

Sadly, the Gospel of the Kingdom was queried;

The message of the Gospel was misread indeed!

 

There were many who failed to understand;

The Gospel news they failed to comprehend.

The old way was the only knowledge they had;

But the religion they practised did not make them glad.

 

The Gospel of the Kingdom should not have been set aside;

The Bridegroom was the Lord and the church was the bride.

The analogy of Marriage is associated with happiness;

Receiving the Gospel of the Lord is wonderfully joyous.

 

The Gospel of the Lord Jesus was compared to a new cloth;

But to many, His Gospel was heard with great wrath.

The Gospel was also compared to brilliant new wine;

The old wineskin sadly, cannot accept the Gospel sublime!
