Summary: When Matthew decided to follow Jesus, his old world was going to collide with his new one

 Some people will try to dump some Jesus into their old self and it will not work too well. If you are going to follow Jesus, you have to give your all to Him. You have to die to self. Once again this is why Romans 6 is such an important passage regarding baptism. Baptism is where we die and where we clothe ourselves with Christ. GAL 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

 Things that do not harmonize should not go together. In the context Jesus is speaking about the old religious traditions of the Law and of the Pharisees. Can you imagine still sacrificing goats and bulls when Jesus has paid the price for our sins?

 Jesus says in verse 38 that new wine needs to go into new wineskins.

 In verse 39 Jesus closes with a chilling statement. READ 39

 I believe that Jesus was looking at the Pharisees when He said this. They were content with the system they had to the point that they would not even taste what Jesus had to offer to them.

 Many people today do the same thing, the think their way to God is good enough. They do not want to step out of the comfort zone of their life to experience the new life that Jesus has to offer to them.

CONCLUSION

 When we come to Jesus you have two worlds colliding. Jesus will impact every area of your life. You have to decide to let Jesus be the Lord of every area of your life. The lord of your family, your entertainment, your marriage, your finances. Everything.

 The great thing about this that for every area you give to Jesus, He will bless you in ways you will not believe.

 We need to remember that in order to reach people, we need to be involved with people who need Jesus.

 Jesus will rock your world, He will take you on the ride of your life if you will let Him.

 Today we give you the opportunity to accept Jesus as your lord and savior.

 If you are ready for a life-time commitment to following, serving and Loving Jesus, we invite you to begin your journey today.
