Breaking Barriers: Out with the Old, In with the New
(Luke 5:33-39; Luke 4:18-19; Isaiah 61:1-2; Leviticus 16:29, 31; Matthew 6:2, 5, 12; 2 Corinthians 5:16-18)
It’s natural to resist change, especially when it challenges what’s familiar or deeply rooted in tradition. In today’s passage, Jesus introduces the Jewish people to a crossroad: cling to the old or turn to the new life He offers.
