the last supper
My talk today is about Jesus and the Last Supper. The Savior knew he was going to die, and he wanted the members of the church to always remember him. So he taught his apostles an ordinance called the sacrament.
First, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. He told his apostles that the bread represented his body.
Next, Jesus took a cup of wine and blessed it. He told his apostles that it represented his blood that he would shed for us. Jesus gave his life for us so that we could live again with Heavenly Father.
After his resurrection, Jesus visited the Nephites in America. He taught them about the sacrament, too.
When Joseph Smith restored the church, the sacrament was given during the first meeting. Today, Sacrament Meeting is the most important meeting in the church.
When we take the sacrament at church each Sunday, we renew our baptismal covenants and promise to keep the commandments. During the sacrament we should think about Jesus and remember that he died for us.
The Last Supper is the final meal that, according to Christian belief, Jesus shared with his Apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion.[2] The Last Supper is commemorated by Christians especially on Maundy Thursday.[3] Moreover, the Last Supper provides the scriptural basis for the Eucharist also known as "Holy Communion" or "The Lord's Supper".[4]
The First Epistle to the Corinthians is the earliest known mention of the Last Supper. The four canonical Gospels all state that the Last Supper took place towards the end of the week, after Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and that Jesus and his Apostles shared a meal shortly before Jesus was crucified at the end of that week.[5][6] During the meal Jesus predicts his betrayal by one of the Apostles present, and foretells that before the next morning, Peter will deny knowing him.[5][6]
The three Synoptic Gospels and the First Epistle to the Corinthians include the account of the institution of the Eucharist in which Jesus takes
