Tension mounting - it’s Thursday. Slide3
In Matthew
26:6–13
: What principles do you see here?
Elder James E.
Talmage
explained, “To anoint the head of a guest with ordinary oil was to do him honor; to anoint his feet also was to show unusual and signal regard; but the anointing of head and feet with spikenard, and in such abundance, was an act of reverential homage rarely rendered even to kings. Mary’s act was an expression of adoration; it was the fragrant
outwelling
of a heart overflowing with worship and affection”
(
Jesus the Christ,
3rd ed. [1916], 512).Slide4
Matthew
26:14–16
What
Judas did after the Savior chided him for complaining
.
“
According to the law of Moses, thirty shekels of silver would compensate an owner for the death of a slave (see Exodus 21:32
). … The betrayal price reflects the low regard Judas and the chief priests had for the Savior”
(New Testament Student Manual [Church Educational System manual, 2014], 81). It also fulfilled an Old Testament prophecy of Judas’s betrayal of the Savior (see Zechariah 11:12).Slide5

“Do we see
our
weekly sacramental
service as
our
Passover? With
so very much at stake, this ordinance commemorating our escape from the angel of darkness should be taken more seriously than it sometimes is
.”Our Passover

The Sacrament: An AnalogySlide24Slide25Slide26Slide27
Currently, the Tomb Guards work on a three
team
rotation - 24 hours on, 24 hours off, 24 hours on, 24 hours off, 24 hours on, 96 hours off.
It takes an average of 6 hours for a sentinel to prepare his/her uniform for his/her ‘walk’.
Each soldier must be in superb physical condition, possess an unblemished military record and be between
5 feet,
10 inches and 6 feet,4 inches tall, with a proportionate weight and build
.
During the trial phase, would-be sentinels memorize 7 pages of Arlington National Cemetery history. This information must be recited verbatim in order to earn a "walk.“The Sentinel takes 21 steps (alluding to the twenty-one gun salute, the highest honor given any military dignitary).The Guard is changed every thirty minutes during the summer and every hour during the winter .
The
Tomb is guarded, and has been guarded, every minute of every day since 1937
.Slide28
The Sentinel stops on the 21st step, then turns and faces the Tomb for 21 seconds. They then turn to face back down the mat, changes the weapon to the outside shoulder, mentally counts off 21 seconds, then steps off for another 21 step walk down the mat. They face the Tomb at each end of the 21 step walk for 21 seconds. The Sentinel then repeats this over and over until the Guard Change ceremony begins.
Gloves are moistened to improve the grip on the rifle.Slide29
The Tomb Guard Identification Badge (TGIB) is awarded after the Sentinel passes
(with 95% accuracy) a
series of
300 questions, both written, oral, and demonstrative. Only 600
have been awarded since its creation in the late 1950's (on average 10 per year
).
The Tomb Guard Identification Badge is one of the least awarded badges in the Army, second only to the Astronaut Badge.
Since the sentinels are held to such a high standard, if they ever do anything that is deemed behavior unbecoming a Tomb Guard or brings dishonor upon the Tomb, their badges may be revoked, even after
the sentinels
have left active duty military service.Slide30
Matthew 26
“We commemorate His Atonement in a very personal way. We bring a broken heart and a contrite spirit to our sacrament meeting. It is the highlight of our Sabbath-day observance.
“Those participating should be seated at least five minutes before the meeting begins so they can be spiritually prepared for a worshipful experience. During that quiet interval, prelude music is subdued. This is not a time for conversation or transmission of messages but a period of prayerful meditation as leaders and members prepare spiritually for the sacrament.”
Russell M. Nelson, Worldwide leadership Training, 21 June, 2003Slide31
Matthew 26
“The ordinance of the sacrament makes the sacrament meeting the most sacred and important meeting in the Church.
“Sacrament meeting is not a time for whispered conversations on cell phones or for texting.
“During sacrament meeting—and especially during the sacrament service—we should concentrate on worship and refrain from all other activities.
“How wonderful when every person in attendance joins in the worship of singing—especially in the hymn that helps us prepare to partake of the sacrament.”
Dallin
H. Oaks, October 2008 General ConferenceSlide32
Matthew 26
Imagine you are sitting in the congregation during sacrament meeting. The sacrament Hymn has just concluded and everyone is prepared to listen to the blessing on the sacrament.
What distractions do you try to avoid?
What do you do to help you focus on the Savior? Slide33
Matthew 26
Imagine a Deacon has just brought the sacrament to where you are sitting and you are about to take it.
What promises are you about to make?
What blessings can you receive from this experience?
Why is this ordinance important to you?
What can you do to improve your experience of partaking of the sacrament? Slide34
Matthew 26
“They
were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him,
Lord, is it I?
’ [Matthew 26:22
]. “
I wonder what each of us would do. … Would we look at those around us and say in our hearts, ‘He’s probably talking about Brother Johnson. I’ve always wondered about him,’ or ‘I’m glad Brother Brown is here. He really needs to hear this message’? Or would we, like those disciples of old, look inward and ask that penetrating question: ‘Is it I
?’ In these simple words, ‘Lord, is it I?’
lies the beginning of wisdom and the pathway to personal conversion and lasting change.
…“And if the Lord’s answer happens to be ‘Yes, my son [or daughter], there are things you must improve, things I can help you to overcome,’ I pray that we will accept this answer, humbly acknowledge our sins and shortcomings, and then change our ways by becoming better” (“Lord, Is It I?” 56, 58).Slide35
