In Christianity we often ask to be like a vessel or cup to be filled by the Holy Spirit.
If we were a cup, what would we look like, would anyone want to drink from us? Are we covered with fancy pictures, are there leaky cracks down the side? Wouldn't pouring wine into a mug that said 'Beer' be misleading?
What do people come back for, the cup or what's inside the cup? Will they know what to look for when they want another drink?
If we want God to pour his spirit into us, then we need to be a vessel that is capable of containing his will, that displays his spirit, and that requires change.
"New wine must be poured into a new wineskin."
