Partaking
of the bread and wine is a match to keeping the commandments because this is
what Christ commanded to be done in his remembrance.
Matt 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Mark 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
3 Nephi 18:1 And it came to pass that Jesus commanded his
disciples that they should bring forth some bread and wine unto him.
2 And while they were gone for bread and wine, he commanded the
multitude that they should sit themselves down upon the earth.
|
3 And when the disciples had come with
bread and wine, he took of the bread and brake and blessed it; and he
gave unto the disciples and commanded that they should eat. 4 And when they had eaten and were
filled, he commanded that
they should give unto the multitude. 5 And when the multitude had eaten and
were filled, he said unto the disciples: Behold
there shall one be ordained among you, and to him will I give power that he
shall break bread and bless it and give it unto the people of my
church, unto all those who shall believe and be baptized in my name. 6 And this shall ye
always observe to do, even as I have done, even as I have broken bread and blessed it
and given it unto you. 7 And this shall ye do in remembrance of my body, which I have shown unto you. And it shall be a testimony unto the Father that ye do always remember me. And if ye do always remember me ye shall
have my Spirit to be with
you. |
8 And it came to pass that when he
said these words, he commanded his disciples that they should take of the wine
of the cup and drink of it, and that they should also give unto
the multitude that they might drink of it. 9 And it came to pass that they did
so, and did drink of it and were filled; and they gave unto the multitude,
and they did drink, and they
were filled. 10 And when the disciples had done
this, Jesus said unto them: Blessed are ye for this thing which ye have done,
for this is fulfilling my commandments, and this doth witness unto the Father
that ye are willing to do that which I have commanded you. 11 And this shall ye
always do to those who repent and are baptized in my name; and ye shall do it in remembrance of my blood, which I have shed
for you, that ye may witness unto the Father
that ye do always
remember me.
And if ye do always remember me ye shall
have my Spirit to be with
you. |
12 And I give unto you a commandment that ye shall do these things. And if ye shall always do these things blessed are ye, for ye are built upon my rock.
