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.

约翰福音 15:13-15

人为朋友舍命，人的爱心没有比这个大的。 你们若遵行我所吩咐的，就是我的朋友了。 以后我不再称你们为仆人，因仆人不知道主人所做的事。我乃称你们为朋友；因我从我父所听见的，已经都告诉你们了。

1975年，罗伯特・普雷沃斯特(Robert Prevost)正处人生巅峰，他是芝加哥的数学老师、虔诚的天主教徒，顷获哈佛法学院录取。他拥有年轻人梦寐以求的一切，但他做了出人意料的选择，拒绝了哈佛，拒绝了六位数年薪的未来，拒绝了名声与安逸，选择了极少人敢踏上的道路：完全的奉献人生。

他加入传教团体，搬到祕鲁，不是城市，不是观光地，而是最偏远的村庄。那里孩童因可治疗的疾病而死，家庭需步行数公里才能取得干净水源。那里没有道路、没有自来水、没有网路，只有山峦、寂静与贫穷。但他却视那里如家一般拥抱。

罗伯特不只是住在当地人中间，他成了他们的一份子：学会古印加神圣语言（克丘亚语）、徒步几天送粮食、与村民同睡泥土地、在星空下祈祷。当他不是在建庇护所时，他就在破旧屋顶下教赤脚孩童数学；当他不是在教书时，他就骑驴送病人去就医；当他不是在救人时，他就在聆听，真正聆听那些被遗忘者的故事。

当他在美国的朋友一个个成为律师、医生，他却成了另一种人：一位牧者、一位兄弟、一位静默的信仰战士。他的事蹟没有被广播，但在安第斯山中悄悄流传。

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.
