WEEK 3: CLASS DISCUSSION

1. Read Luke 22:19  and identify the important word Luke used in describing the sacrament that Nephi also used but Paul did not.

REMEMBRANCE

2. What is the difference between what is taught in 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 and 3 Nephi 18:28-29 with regard to the counsel about when to not partake of the sacrament?

In Corinthians, Paul says to allow the person eat and drink of the sacrament unworthily, and in 3 Nephi, Nephi suggest that we forbid him from partaking.

3. What did Paul teach that explains why we don’t want to partake of the sacrament unworthily?

Paul gives a warning that if we are to partake of the sacrament unworthily, we are “...guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.”

1. What can you do to make the sacrament a more meaningful experience in your life both on Sundays and during the week?

During the sacrament on Sunday, I like to think of the sacrament as a funeral. The funeral is for Christ, and at any funeral we commemorate the deceased, the deceased being Christ. Thinking of the sacrament table as the body and blood of Christ covered up with a white cloth. By doing that I am more focused on the Atonement of Christ.
