On to day 8.
Why did Jesus institute the Sacrament?
He did so that mortals could remember what He was doing for them, the sacrifice He was doing so we could be with Him and Father again. It was a Physical thing we could do that would make it easier to remember.
What three things do we "witness" or promise, that we will do when we take this sacrament?
That we are willing to take upon us the name of Christ, to always remember him and to keep his commandments. So that we may always have his spirit with us.
What does it mean to take upon us the name of Christ?
As for taking upon us the name of Christ. That was covered.
When we take upon us Christ's name, What can people expect from us?
That we will be Christ like, the very foundation of the Church and what we need to do to get into the Celestial Kingdom.
How can we prepare ourselves to partake of the sacrament worthily?
If we will have a prayerful attitude, try to be reverent, that is pretty hard with little ones most of the time but strive for it. Dont break the commandments during the week and if you have be repentant.
How would examining our lives frequently make it easier to partake of the sacrament in the right spirit? I think that if we take a few minutes each day, maybe before the kids are all up and causing havoc, we could take stock of the past day, sum it up and try to do a little better. It is my belief that if we are striving to move toward a character change for the better THAT is what He wants, That is how we are Perfect, I really think he does expect us to become perfect but he knows we arent and can take those baby steps, line upon line precept upon precept.
