Choice 6: 1 Corinthians 10, 11 The Sacrament

Study 1 Corinthians 10:16–21; 11:20–29 and compare it with 3 Nephi 18:6–11, 28–29. Then respond in writing to the following items:

 1. Read Luke 22:19 and identify the important word Luke used in describing the sacrament that          Nephi also used but Paul did not.
     Luke and Nephi both say "given", while Paul says "broken".
2. What is different between what is taught in 1 Corinthians 11:27–29 and 3 Nephi 18:28–29 with         regard to the counsel about when to not partake of the sacrament?
   Christ says it is a commandment and that if ye shall know a man is unworthy, you should forbid him. (both      in 3 Nephi) In Corinthians he says to examine yourselves.
3. What did Paul teach that explains why we don’t want to partake of the sacrament unworthily?
    If you partake of the sacrament unworthily, you eat and drink damnation to yourself.
4. What can you do to make the sacrament a more meaningful experience in your life both on             Sundays and during the week?
    I know I need to reflect more on my weaknesses during the week, strive to correct those weaknesses,           and make more of an effort to repent of those weaknesses each day so I can be more worthy and                 prepared to partake of the sacrament each week.
