Good Morning,
Luke 5:38 states:
New wine must be put into new leather bags.
New wine is not like aged wine. It does not taste good and it must be aged to be of value.
Old leather bags hold old wine, the bags have held their wine as it aged and matured. New wine placed in old bags will not shorten the aging process. The process must follow its course. Aged leather bags eventually fall apart, and this will cause the wine to spill out.
New wine must age to be good and thus it needs to go into new leather bags to come of age.
People are similar to wine. You cannot put on the clothes of an experienced person and expect to get their wisdom and experiences through osmosis. You can learn from them, and hear their tales, watch their actions, but this does not mean that you gain what they know. You must experience it yourself to ultimately know.
No, you must put on your own clothes and learn and grow on your own (no matter how fast you learn). You must gain your own experience and you must do your own learning.
It is at that time that a young person will age like fine wine and be of value.
Enjoy!
