The Parable of the Tenants & When Worship Becomes Dangerous (Day 62 / March 3 or 2)

Does it matter how we worship God? Today’s reading in Leviticus shows us the heights of God's glory as fire consumes the sacrifice on the altar, but also the depths of His holiness as Nadab and Abihu are judged for offering "strange fire." In Mark, Jesus is questioned on His authority and responds with a powerful parable about how the world treats the messengers—and the Son—of the Vineyard Owner.Today’s Scripture:📖 Leviticus 9–10 – The first sacrifices of the new priesthood are accepted by fire from heaven, followed immediately by the tragic judgment of Aaron’s sons for disobedience.📖 Mark 11:27–12:12 – The religious leaders challenge Jesus’ authority, and He responds with the Parable of the Tenants, pointing directly to His own coming rejection and exaltation.📖 Psalm 29 – A magnificent hymn describing the power of God’s voice over the elements: "The voice of the Lord is over the waters."RESOURCES & READ-ALONG 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYKi8-_5xHGL_nFAZOthHtZhcb4CqW4ZF 📖 Follow the Text (LEB): https://biblia.com/books/leb/ 🗓️ Download the Full Plan: https://www.biblica.com/resources/reading-plans/CONNECT & SUPPORT 📧 Questions?
