As the guests at the marriage feast at Canaan desired and preferred the new wine provided by Christ to the old, they were served at first, so a genuine and converted believer desires the new life above the old, having compared the easy yoke and the light burden of his Saviour in comparison to the hard yoke and grievous burden of sin, the world, and the Devil he were under in times past.

I will give them a new heart, says the Lord. The new heart is for a new life .therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Cor. 5: 17).
