Leviticus 8:18-21 (NIV)
18  He then presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.
19  Then Moses slaughtered the ram and sprinkled the blood against the altar on all sides.
20  He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces and the fat.
21  He washed the inner parts and the legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the LORD by fire, as the LORD commanded Moses.

On verses 18-21:  After sacrificing a bull as a sin offering on behalf of Aaron and his sons (v14-17), here Moses presents a ram as a burnt offering for Aaron and his sons.

約翰福音 15:13-15

人為朋友捨命，人的愛心沒有比這個大的。 你們若遵行我所吩咐的，就是我的朋友了。 以後我不再稱你們為僕人，因僕人不知道主人所做的事。我乃稱你們為朋友；因我從我父所聽見的，已經都告訴你們了。

1975年，羅伯特・普雷沃斯特(Robert Prevost)正處人生巔峰，他是芝加哥的數學老師、虔誠的天主教徒，頃獲哈佛法學院錄取。他擁有年輕人夢寐以求的一切，但他做了出人意料的選擇，拒絕了哈佛，拒絕了六位數年薪的未來，拒絕了名聲與安逸，選擇了極少人敢踏上的道路：完全的奉獻人生。

他加入傳教團體，搬到祕魯，不是城市，不是觀光地，而是最偏遠的村莊。那裡孩童因可治療的疾病而死，家庭需步行數公里才能取得乾淨水源。那裡沒有道路、沒有自來水、沒有網路，只有山巒、寂靜與貧窮。但他卻視那裡如家一般擁抱。

羅伯特不只是住在當地人中間，他成了他們的一份子：學會古印加神聖語言（克丘亞語）、徒步幾天送糧食、與村民同睡泥土地、在星空下祈禱。當他不是在建庇護所時，他就在破舊屋頂下教赤腳孩童數學；當他不是在教書時，他就騎驢送病人去就醫；當他不是在救人時，他就在聆聽，真正聆聽那些被遺忘者的故事。

當他在美國的朋友一個個成為律師、醫生，他卻成了另一種人：一位牧者、一位兄弟、一位靜默的信仰戰士。他的事蹟沒有被廣播，但在安第斯山中悄悄流傳。

Leviticus 8:1-9 (NIV)
1  The LORD said to Moses,
2  “Bring Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering, the two rams and the basket containing bread made without yeast,
3  and gather the entire assembly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.”

On verses 1-9:  Here we read of how Moses washed and clothed Aaron and his sons to make them ready to serve as priests.  Likewise through Jesus Christ God has washed us and clothed us so that we would be ready to serve as His priests.
