“He instituted the sacrament as a reminder of His great atoning sacrifice. He was arrested and condemned on spurious charges, convicted to satisfy a mob, and sentenced to die on Calvary’s cross. He gave His life to atone for the sins of all mankind. His was a great vicarious gift in behalf of all who would ever live upon the earth.”

instituted: started

atoning sacrifice: suffering for our sins so we don’t have to, if we repent

spurious: false

vicarious: something someone does for someone else

Remembering Jesus

The sacrament is a time to remember what Jesus Christ has done for us. Draw a picture of one of your favorite stories about Jesus. Then write down a word about Jesus that begins with each letter of the word sacrament. You could think about these words during the sacrament to remember Jesus.
