By this shall all men know that ye ... Jesus and His Apostles gathered in a place, and then Jesus washed all of their feet. And He said it was an example, that they should all love one another as He has loved them.
It was the Last Supper, and Jesus took His disciples to celebrate that. They all had a supper, and they ate. And after that, He broke bread and He blessed it. They all had chunks of bread and a drink of water. Actually, I think they had wine then. And then He told them that "this is what you guys should do." And He said that the bread symbolized His body, that they should always remember it. And the wine represented His blood. The sacrament is like baptism because Jesus was baptized, and--OK, I just don't get this. The sacrament is a time in church when we eat bread and drink some water.
It's like the Last Supper. You have to take some bread and water. To remember about Jesus's sacrifice. The bread means of His body or flesh, because it's when He was crucified. And the water reminds us of His blood. He went to the Garden of Gethsemane, and He bled out of every pore and prayed that everybody would be able to repent.
It's a way to tell Heavenly Father that I'm going to do my best this week and I'm going to renew this covenant. You renew your baptismal covenants. When I was Garrett's age, whenever I took the sacrament, I'd be like, "I wonder what it would be like to be baptized." But now I think of what it was like to be baptized when I take the sacrament, and it feels really good. The sacrament is a sacred ordinance, and we don't want to be thinking about school tomorrow. We want to be focused. When I take the sacrament, I feel that He's just right next to me and telling me that I'm doing a good job. I think about how much pain He probably suffered. When we take it, we should be remembering of what He did for us and we should do to Him. It's important to take it, and it's for remembrance of Him.
