Principle: Jesus instituted a new covenant for His people.
Read: 2 Nephi 9:50 - 10:17
In verse 51 and 52 of chapter 9 the word remember is used. What are you invited to remember and why does Jacob invite you to remember?
Read Exodus 24:3–8 and look for the establishment of the Old Testament. Now read Matthew 26:26–28 and see how Christ came and established a New Testament.
Note: testament is translated from the greek word meaning covenant.
Paul further clarified in Hebrews 9:12–15 about the establishment of the New Testament.
Watch The Last Supper Bible Video and ponder why Jesus instituted the sacrament and what it means for the old and new covenant.
Why did Jesus institute a new covenant?
Dallin H. Oaks taught
"The sacrament is the ordinance that replaced the blood sacrifices and burnt offerings of the Mosaic law, and with it came the Savior’s promise: ‘And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost’ (3 Nephi 9:20)” (“Sacrament Meeting and the Sacrament,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2008, 19).
