No one after drinking old wine desires new

Luke 5:27-39
Jesus called Levi, who was a tax collector,  sitting at the tax booth. Levi followed Jesus.
Jesus replied the Pharisees, " I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."-- There is no righteous man on earth, only one acknowledges he is sinner will come to repent and turn to Jesus.
The Law in Jews became a habit. So when Jesus came, there were new idea about salvation, they couldn't understand it. So Jesus said, the new and old garment and wine in wineskin. No one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, 'The old is good.'
Why?
People always won't like to change. Who feels comfortable in his environment.
Jesus brought a new order for salvation, that is conflict with sin and flesh.
Jesus came to call the sinners, those are despised by the Pharisees. Jesus came to save those sinners. Everyone has the same right to get this salvation, don't need any payment or condition, but need the repentance to sin and believe in Jesus.
How?
Am I satisfy in my living style now, am I feel comfortable in my worshiping style now? Be careful, Jesus leads me in new way and method. Do not limit the power of the Lord. God is doing new things.
