"New Shape" - Malcolm Duncan. Just as Jesus’ parable of the wine and wineskins reminds us that we are asking for trouble if we pour fresh wine into old wineskins which have assumed a definite shape and which are no longer pliable, whilst fresh wineskins can successfully absorb the expansion of the new wine and assume a new and appropriate shape. So too are we to be flexible if we are to follow and adapt well to any fresh new move and direction of God’s spirit.
