Do What?

Do this in remembrance of me. Do what?

Luke 22:19  And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians 11:24  And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians 11:25  After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 

Remembrance - G364 - From G363; recollection: - remembrance (again).
  • G363 - From G303 and G3403; to remind; reflexively to recollect: - call to mind, (bring to, call to, put in), remember (-brance).
    • G303 - A primary preposition and adverb; properly up; but (by extension) used (distributively) severally, or (locally) at (etc.): - and, apiece, by, each, every (man), in, through. In compounds (as a prefix) it often means (by implication) repetition, intensity, reversal, etc.
    • G3403 - A prolonged form of G3415 (from which some of the tenses are borrowed); to remind, that is, (middle voice) to recall to mind: - be mindful, remember.
      • G3415 - Middle voice of a derivative of G3306 or perhaps of the base of G3145 (through the idea of fixture in the mind or of mental grasp); to bear in mind, that is, recollect; by implication to reward or punish: - be mindful, remember, come (have) in remembrance. Compare G3403.
This - G5124 - Neuter, singular, nomitive or accusative of G3778; that thing: - here [-unto], it, partly, self [-same], so, that (intent), the same, there [-fore, -unto], this, thus, where [-fore].

Father, by His son is explicit what we are to do in remembrance of Him.  To partake of the bread and wine, as representative of His body and blood (not literal).

Why Christianity has absorbed and/or promotes a day to remember His birth is baffling to me.  No where in Scripture are we given any indication that Father wants this day known and/or set aside.

Additionally, it is perplexing to me that those who cry Scripture Alone - in refutation to the harlot, Roman Catholicism - adopt that which 'she' has designated as a holy day to celebrate the 'mass' of Christ.

If one wanted to have a festival, the Feast of Tabernacles would be an appropriate (weather wise as well) festival to reflect upon God coming to 'dwell' with man by becoming one of us.

Search the Scriptures - test the spirits - be instant in season and out.  Let us not be found dallying with the devil, rather desiring to be a pure Bride, wholly intent upon Him and desiring to give a proper estimate of our Lord and Savior.


Malachi 3:16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
