Leviticus 24:1-25:46
This passage is where the people are commanded to bring the oil to keep the light burning. The light represents God and His word, and the people bringing the oil is their faith they bring to keep His light lit. It is a representation of their faith. In one of these passages God orders Moses to have the man who blasphemed against Him stoned to death. This shows the severity of this sin and to fear God. As for the oil for the light, He commands this to last many generations or generation after generation so the faith must last forever.
Mark 10:13-31
Jesus scolds the disciples for giving the parents trouble for bringing the children to Him. Anyone who doesn't receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it. The man who walked up to Jesus and asked how to get eternal life; Jesus told him to obey the commandments; the man responds that he had done that then Jesus told him to give away all his treasures and possessions and give the money to the poor and you will have many treasures in heaven. The man was sad as he had many possessions. Jesus knew what to tell this person..He wouldn't have said the same to a poor person. Jesus knows the message; we all need it and when we need it. When we are in church and it is as if the pastor went through our garbage and came up with his sermon this is the same idea.
