The leaves were an insufficient cover for their sin because they were too different from man.

32: The Law Written on Hearts of Flesh
The law written by the hand of God on stone tablets represents the law’s inability to enliven the dead, for when Moses descended the mountain, the people had already created the golden calf.

This episode focuses on sharing the afflictions of Christ through bearing our own cross.

Love in sacrifice and sacrifice in love are the cornerstones of true Life. Without love, sacrifice kills; without sacrifice, love is barren sentiment.
