“Now is the time to become a disciple of Jesus Christ, which means accepting His invitation to 'come, follow me' (Luke 18:22). This is the decision we made in our premortal lives. Now we must make it again here in mortality, every day, in every situation by taking the Savior's name upon us, remembering His atoning sacrifice, and keeping His commandments. This we covenanted to do when we were baptized, and we have the opportunity to renew those covenants each week as we partake of the sacrament.” MeanMadeRememberOpportunityJesusNamesChristDecisionSituationAcceptingSacrificeWeekJesus ChristMortalitySaviorCommandmentsDiscipleSacramentsInvitationsCovenantFollow MeLukeBaptized Author:Robert D.
