When Jesus said 'Do this in rememberance of me' what did he mean? are we doing ' this ' in remeberance of him?

Answer 1

I'm a pastor in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

We have the words "'Do this in rememberance of me'" carved into the front of our Communion table at our church. We celebrate communion with every service, because Jesus said to do it. We also have full-body believer's baptism, because Jesus said to do that, as well.

Answer 2

That we should not forget what he has done for us.

He gave his life for us.
He paid for our sins.
He promised us that he will come back again to remove the suffering and the evil in this world.
So that the we and the angels, will be a family.

No, we do not really. We prefer to make war, we distract ourselves from banalities.

Whether we do or not, he will return back.
For many people, he will be a surprise.
He will not come alone, but with his angels.
He will (get) reign over the earth.

Answer 3

The word translated (weakly) in the KJV as "remembrance" is the Greek word "anamnesis". It means a calling forward through time to make really present in the here and now. "Continuously proceeding" is a good working definition.

"Do this in remembrance of me" (Luke 22:20; 1 Cor.11:24), the Lord ordered "on the night when he was betrayed" (1 Cor. 11:23).

The continuously proceeding divine energy culminates in the sacrament of the eucharist which has for twenty centuries formed the pivot of a Christian's worship. In liturgical language, the term "anamnesis" defines the core of the eucharistic anaphora, the consecrated offering.

'Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.' Ac 2:46-47 NIV
.

Answer 5

The re-enactment of the last supper. Now called the Eucharist.
Since that time this re-enactment has taken place in every Catholic Mass, every day, in all parts of the world, in 'remembrance' of Jesus exactly as He requested.

Answer 6

The first announcement of the Eucharist divided the disciples, just as the announcement of the Passion scandalized them: "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?" The Eucharist and the Cross are stumbling blocks. It is the same mystery and it never ceases to be an occasion of division. "Will you also go away?": the Lord's question echoes through the ages, as a loving invitation to discover that only he has "the words of eternal life" and that to receive in faith the gift of his Eucharist is to receive the Lord himself.

Answer 7

Jesus was referring to the Last Supper, bread and the fruit of the vine. The last meal Jesus shared with His Disciples before He died.

That last supper was NOT the passover.

Jesus is the Passover Lamb.

Answer 8

The speicifc cup of wine and the unleavened bread at the end of the Passover meal, should be done in remembrance of Jesus, because He delivers from sin, just as Moses delivered Israel from bondage to slavery in Egypt, so Jews observe the Passover in remembrance of what God did.

Answer 9

Passover. Before, Passover was kept 'in remembrance' of the exodus from Egypt. Now, we keep Passover not only for the remembrance of the exodus but for the 'remembrance' of our exodus from sin, by the blood of our Passover Lamb, Yeshua (Jesus). "Behold the Lamb of God."

Answer 10

when reciving the euchrest you are to be thinking of Christ's incarnation crucifixion resurection and accension. It dose not mean the eucherst is symbolic...
