Jesus' words, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me," call believers to an ongoing act of remembrance. The breaking of the bread symbolizes His body, given for us on the cross. This simple but profound act of communion is meant to be a continual reminder of His sacrifice. In saying "do this in remembrance of me," Jesus establishes the practice of communion as a central element of Christian worship and devotion. Every time believers partake of the bread and the cup, they are reminded of the cost of their redemption—the broken body of Christ and His blood shed for the forgiveness of sins. The act of remembering is not just a mental exercise but an invitation to reflect on the significance of Jesus' sacrifice and to renew our commitment to Him. This verse invites us to not only remember what Christ did but to live in the light of that sacrifice—recognizing that His body was broken for us and His blood was poured out for our forgiveness. In remembering Him, we are called to live in gratitude, love, and obedience.
Luke 22:20
And he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
John 6:53
Jesus answered, Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
John 6:54
Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
John 6:55
For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
