The Significance of the Sacrament

When preparing for a sacrament, it is emphasized that the essence lies not in the material used but in the purity of one's heart. An angel's message to Joseph Smith indicates that the Church can use water instead of wine and highlights that the heart's intention is what truly matters. The sacrament serves as a sacred feast, symbolizing a divine communion with Jesus, extending beyond mere ritual. This practice has roots in ancient traditions, where partaking in meals often symbolized a form of fellowship and connection with the divine.
