BREAD
While of this broken bread
Humbly we eat,
Our thoughts to thee are led
In rev'rence sweet.
Bruised, broken, torn for us
On Calvary's hill--
Thy suff'ring borne for us
Lives with us still.

AND IF MEN COME UNTO ME I WILL SHOW UNTO THEM
THEIR WEAKNESS. I GIVE UNTO MEN WEAKNESS THAT
THEY MAY BE HUMBLE; AND MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT
FOR ALL MEN THAT HUMBLE THEMSELVES BEFORE
ME; FOR IF THEY HUMBLE THEMSELVES BEFORE ME,
AND HAVE FAITH IN ME, THEN WILL I
MAKE WEAK THINGS BECOME STRONG UNTO THEM.
Ether 12:27


YEA, COME UNTO CHRIST, AND BE PERFECTED IN HIM,
AND DENY YOURSELVES OF ALL UNGODLINESS; AND IF
YE SHALL DENY YOURSELVES OF ALL UNGODLINESS,
AND LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, MIND AND
STRENGTH, THEN IS HIS GRACE SUFFICIENT FOR YOU,
THAT BY HIS GRACE YE MAY BE PERFECT IN CHRIST;
AND IF BY THE GRACE OF GOD YE ARE PERFECT IN
CHRIST, YE CAN IN NOWISE DENY THE POWER OF
GOD.

And when the disciples had done this,
Jesus said unto them: Blessed are ye for

fulfilling my commandments, and this doth

WHEN OUR BODIES AND SPIRITS ARE REUNITED
THROUGH THE RESURRECTION, WE WILL BE
BROUGHT INTO GODS PRESENCE TO BE
JUDGED. WE WILL REMEMBER PERFECTLY OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND OUR GUILT. IF WE HAVE
REPENTED, WE WILL RECEIVE MERCY. WE WILL
BE REWARDED ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS AND
OUR DESIRES.

JOHN 6:48-58
I am that bread of life.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and
not die.
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he
shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world.
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his
flesh to eat?
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of
the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him
up at the last day.
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me,
even he shall live by me.
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat
manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

FOR, BEHOLD, I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT IT MATTERETH
NOT WHAT YE SHALL EAT OR WHAT YE SHALL DRINK
WHEN YE PARTAKE OF THE SACRAMENT, IF IT SO BE
THAT YE DO IT WITH AN EYE SINGLE TO MY GLORY
REMEMBERING UNTO THE FATHER MY BODY WHICH
WAS LAID DOWN FOR YOU, AND MY BLOOD WHICH WAS
SHED FOR THE REMISSION OF YOUR SINS.
Doctrine & Covenants 27:2


AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT AFTER THEY HAD
SPOKEN THESE WORDS THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
CAME UPON THEM, AND THEY WERE FILLED WITH
JOY, HAVING RECEIVED A REMISSION OF THEIR SINS,
AND HAVING PEACE OF CONSCIENCE, BECAUSE OF
THE EXCEEDING FAITH WHICH THEY HAD IN JESUS
CHRIST WHO SHOULD COME, ACCORDING TO
THE WORDS WHICH KING BENJAMIN HAD SPOKEN
UNTO THEM.
