In Leviticus chapters 1-3, God instructs the Israelites on how to properly conduct offerings, detailing burnt offerings, grain offerings, and peace offerings as acts of worship and atonement for sins. Each offering has specific rules about the animals or foodstuffs to be used and how they should be prepared and presented to God at the Tabernacle. Through these rituals, the Israelites seek to maintain a holy relationship with God. Will the Israelites be able to faithfully follow these detailed instructions and remain in God's favor?

In Mark 9:33-50, Jesus teaches his disciples about true greatness, emphasizing humility and service over seeking the highest status. He warns against causing others to sin, illustrating the seriousness of sin with vivid imagery of cutting off one's own limbs. As Jesus moves on to Mark 10:1-12, he addresses questions about divorce, upholding the sanctity of marriage and emphasizing its permanence, countering the cultural norms of his time. Will the disciples grasp the depth of Jesus' teachings on humility, service, and the sacredness of marriage amidst societal pressures?
