Take Upon Us the Name of Christ

This week we'll ponder what it means to take upon us the name of Christ, to be a "Christian." As we take the sacrament each week and show our willingness to follow the Savior, we recommit to serve others and lift their burdens.  Moroni 4:3 gives us the sacrament prayer on the bread:

O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it, that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him and keep his commandments which he has given them; that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.

In the last General Conference, we learned a few things about this principle:

 - By your being willing to take His name upon you, you will lift the burdens of countless others.  (President Henry B. Eyring)

 - To take upon ourselves the name of Christ … we must do His work and serve as He served.  (Elder Robert C. Gay)
