Just think of what science and astronomy tell us about the expanse of the solar system and the universe. “And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come and there is no end to my works, neither to my words” ( Moses 1:32–33, 35, 37–38). “And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying: The heavens, they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine. “… And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them. … “And worlds without number have I created and I also created them for mine own purpose and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten. …
IN REMEMBRANCE FULL
“And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth. He was the firstborn spirit child of Heavenly Father and the Only Begotten in the flesh.
To remember and know Jesus Christ is to know He is the Jehovah of the Old Testament and the Jesus Christ of the New Testament. Therefore, for all who come unto Christ and take His name upon them through baptism, there is great responsibility to be worthy to participate weekly in the sacrament in order that they may renew their baptismal covenant, take His name upon them, renew their promise to keep all of His commandments, remember Him, know Him, and comprehend His greatness. “This do in remembrance of me” were His words ( Luke 22:19). He said that this sacrament would be done in remembrance of Him.
For ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye the Lord’s death till he come” ( 1 Cor. He took the cup, saying: “This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
We read: “That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me” ( 1 Cor. At the conclusion of the evening, He instituted the sacrament. This was doctrine that was not easy for those who lived in His time to understand. Provision was made that we could repent from our sins, be obedient to His commandments, and be able to return to His presence. By Him and through Him all men would be resurrected. He gave a foreshadow of the events to come, of His atoning sacrifice so that all mankind-those who had lived, those who were then living, and all those who would ever live on earth-would benefit from His atoning sacrifice. Jesus had assembled His Apostles in the Upper Room for the Last Supper. The people were celebrating and rejoicing in the goodness of God for having saved their forefathers. The time had come for the conclusion of Christ’s ministry on earth. The Passover meal recalls centuries of God’s mercy in what Jesus said held promise of an even greater mercy to come: His atoning sacrifice. The Last Supper, just before the death of Christ, was significant in many ways.
