If you have not read my first post from yesterday (1/18) please do so as this post will make more sense.
Jesus was asked by John the Baptist’s disciples why Jesus’ disciples didn’t fast like John’s or the Pharisees. Here is Jesus’ reply – remember John’s disciples were the good guys –
Matt 9:14. Question about Fasting
Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”
And Jesus said to them, “The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they?
But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
