the sacrament. a few thoughts from journaling.

-in remembrance of Christ's atoning sacrifice- which we mock when we sin and are not worthy to partake of the sacrament

-the sacrament is our time to commune with Christ, to recommit ourselves to Him

-Christ instituted the sacrament on the Eve of his crucifixion because it was going to be a gift, a vital way for us to stay connected to Him.

-someday Christ will sit down with us and partake of the sacrament when he comes again on this earth.  He instituted the sacrament during the First Supper and he will end it when we no longer need it when He is once again on the Earth during His millennial reign

-it is through His atonement and power through the sacrament that we find our own personal salvation

-the covenants we make with God involve covenants to DO, not merely refraining from doing things God does not want us to do/that are not good for our spirits.  We are to work rightouseness as well as to avoid evil.
