Sacrament

Ever since last class, I have not been able to get the idea of the sacrament out of my head with the video about the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery. I kept thinking about how the word sacrament means that something divine and something human is being combined. I realized that as we take the sacrament each week, we are inviting the divine power of the Atonement into our lives and giving up some of our humanness for divinity. I really loved the idea that at the Last Supper, Jesus Christ gave us something divine, His personal, bodily sacrifice, and in return asks us for some of our humanness, some natural man. Although sometimes I think about how hard it is to repent, when I really take a moment and think about how much the Savior gave me, my sins become much easier to give.

The Simple Statement of Principle: Take a moment and think about how much the Savior gave us, and it will make it easier to give Him our sins, shortcomings, and afflictions.

I believe this with every fiber of my being. I implore you to take that moment during the sacrament and I testify that you will discover how badly you want to make things right and turn them over to the Lord.
