Leviticus 6:24-30 and Luke 12:54-59 (NLT)

Leviticus 6:24-30
The Sin Offering
24  Then the Lord said to Moses,
25  “Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the sin offering. The animal given as an offering for sin is a most holy offering, and it must be slaughtered in the Lord’s presence at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered.
26  The priest who offers the sacrifice as a sin offering must eat his portion in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.
27  Anyone or anything that touches the sacrificial meat will become holy. If any of the sacrificial blood spatters on a person’s clothing, the soiled garment must be washed in a sacred place.
28  If a clay pot is used to boil the sacrificial meat, it must then be broken. If a bronze pot is used, it must be scoured and thoroughly rinsed with water.
29  Any male from a priest’s family may eat from this offering; it is most holy.
30  But the offering for sin may not be eaten if its blood was brought into the Tabernacle as an offering for purification in the Holy Place. It must be completely burned with fire.

Luke 12:54-59
Interpreting the Times

54  Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “When you see clouds beginning to form in the west, you say, ‘Here comes a shower.’ And you are right. 

55  When the south wind blows, you say, ‘Today will be a scorcher.’ And it is. 

56  You fools! You know how to interpret the weather signs of the earth and sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the present times.

57  “Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right? 

58  When you are on the way to court with your accuser, try to settle the matter before you get there. Otherwise, your accuser may drag you before the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, who will throw you into prison. 

59  And if that happens, you won’t be free again until you have paid the very last penny.”

Leviticus 6:14-23 and Luke 12:49-53 (NIV)

Leviticus 6:14-23
The Grain Offering
14  "These are the regulations for the grain offering:  Aaron's sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar.
15  The priest is to take a handful of fine flour and oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
16  Aaron and his sons shall eat the rest of it, but it it is to be eaten without yeast in a holy place; they are to eat in the courtyard of the Tent of the Meeting.
17  It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share of the offerings made to me by fire.  Like the sin offering and the guilt offering, it is most holy.
18  Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it.  It is his regular share of the offerings made to the Lord by fire for the generations to come.  Whatever touches them will become holy."
19  The Lord also said to Moses,
20  "This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he is anointed:  a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

Luke 12:49-53
Not Peace But Division

49  “I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning! 

50   I have a terrible baptism of suffering ahead of me, and I am under a heavy burden until it is accomplished. 

51   Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other! 

52   From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against—or two in favor and three against.

53   ‘Father will be divided against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.’”

Leviticus 6:8-13 and Luke 12:35-48 (NLT)

Leviticus 6:8-13
The Burnt Offering
8    Then the Lord said to Moses,
9    “Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the burnt offering. The burnt offering must be left on top of the altar until the next morning, and the fire on the altar must be kept burning all night.
10   In the morning, after the priest on duty has put on his official linen clothing and linen undergarments, he must clean out the ashes of the burnt offering and put them beside the altar.
11  Then he must take off these garments, change back into his regular clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.
12   Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must never go out. Each morning the priest will add fresh wood to the fire and arrange the burnt offering on it. He will then burn the fat of the peace offerings on it.
13   Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times. It must never go out.

Luke 12:35-48
Watchfulness

35  “Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning, 

36  as though you were waiting for your master to return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks. 

37  The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded. I tell you the truth, he himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat! 

38   He may come in the middle of the night or just before dawn. But whenever he comes, he will reward the servants who are ready.

39   “Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would not permit his house to be broken into. 

40  You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.”

41   Peter asked, “Lord, is that illustration just for us or for everyone?”

42   And the Lord replied, “A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them. 

43   If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward. 

44   I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns. 

45   But what if the servant thinks, ‘My master won’t be back for a while,’ and he begins beating the other servants, partying, and getting drunk?

46   The master will return unannounced and unexpected, and he will cut the servant in pieces and banish him with the unfaithful.

47   “And a servant who knows what the master wants, but isn’t prepared and doesn’t carry out those instructions, will be severely punished. 

48   But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.
