In Mark 2:18–22, Jesus responds to questions about fasting by revealing the heart of life in God’s kingdom. Through the images of a wedding feast, a new garment, and fresh wine, Jesus shows that following Him is not about joyless duty or religious patchwork—but about new life marked by grace, freedom, and celebration. In this message, we explore why serving Christ flows from joy rather than obligation, why legalism leads to famine instead of feast, and how the presence of the Bridegroom changes everything. Christianity is not a funeral procession—it is a wedding celebration.
