The sacrament table and temple altars symbolize the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His infinite Atonement.

As we make and honor our covenants, receiving the ordinances of the sacrament at church and the endowment and sealing at the temple, we bind ourselves to the Savior, gaining greater access to His mercy, protection, sanctification, healing, and rest. – Jeremy R. Jaggi, “Humble Souls at Altars Kneel,” Liahona (CR) November 2025
