The Eternal Family Order of the Sacrament

A Creeker Devotional by K. Kirton Niner

🍞 The Prayer Is Spoken to the Father

The sacrament is sacred because it is a direct address to God, the Eternal Father.
The words of the prayer begin with:

“O God, the Eternal Father, we ask Thee in the name of Thy Son, Jesus Christ…”

It is not prayed to Jesus, but to His Father — our Father — through the name of His Son.
This order matters because it reminds us who we are praying to, and why.

We are His children.
He is the Eternal Father of our spirits.
And Jesus Christ is our Elder Brother, the One who gave His body and blood that we might return home.

✨ The Purpose Is to Remember

The sacrament prayer does not use the word renew.
It says:

“…that they may eat in remembrance of the body of Thy Son…”

To remember means to call to heart the sacrifice of our Brother — to acknowledge His gift, His body, and His example.
We are not re-making a covenant.
We are remembering the covenant we already made and showing our loyalty through remembrance.

Remembrance is an act of living faith.
It means we still choose Him.
We still stand in the covenant made through His Atonement.

🕊️ The Three Divine Beings

Each time the sacrament is offered, all three members of the Godhead are acknowledged:

RoleBeingFunction
FatherGod, the Eternal FatherThe One we address in prayer; the giver of all blessings.
SonJesus ChristOur Elder Brother; His body and blood are remembered.
SpiritThe Holy GhostOur companion and sanctifier; promised to remain with us when we remember and obey.

This sacred pattern reminds us that Heaven is not a mystery of merged beings — it is a family order.

🌿 The Family Order of Heaven

God is our Eternal Father.
Jesus Christ is our Eternal Brother.
The Holy Ghost is our Eternal Companion.
And we, His children, are invited to sit at the table and remember.

When we partake of the bread and water, we act as one family — not in communal control, but in personal connection.
Every remembrance is an individual act of devotion within a divine household.

💫 The Covenant of Independence

To remember is to stand independently before God.
No one can remember for us.
No one can believe for us.
We take the bread and the water with our own hands and hearts —
and by doing so, we witness to the Father that we are willing to take upon us the name of His Son.

That is not communal faith; it is personal accountability within divine relationship.
It is the right of every soul to have covenants directly with God and to live them in remembrance of the Son.

✝️ Closing Thought

“O God, the Eternal Father… that they may do it in remembrance of the blood of Thy Son.”

This prayer is not ritual repetition — it is remembrance with purpose.
We do not renew; we remember.
We do not relive; we witness.
And through that remembrance, the Spirit remains with us —
not because we are many, but because we are His.
