In construction, an expansion joint is a crucial gap designed to safely absorb the expansion and contraction of building materials due to temperature changes, preventing structural damage. “Expansion Joint” uses this modern engineering necessity to illuminate Jesus’ teaching about new wine and old wineskins. This lesson challenges our rigidity, asking us to cultivate spiritual flexibility so we can contain and move with the new work the Holy Spirit wants to do in our lives, without bursting under the pressure of change.
