In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, Luke 22:19 New International Version 19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body given for you do this in remembrance of me. The Bible says that He took bread and gave each of them some and then said, This is my body given for you do this in remembrance of me (Luke 22:19b). 'This is my body, which is broken for you do this in remembrance of me.' "The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, The Bible says Christians keep doing this until He comes - re-enacting that First Supper of the New Covenant is a public testimony to the world of our faith that Jesus will yet return: Jesus instructed His disciples to eat unleavened bread and drink from a cup of wine in remembrance of how His body was broken in death, and His blood spilled, in order to bring them into the New Covenant (verse 20).Īll believers in Jesus, who have trusted in His name and received Him by faith (John 1:12-13) have the right to partake, for they are the ones brought into that New Covenant by the New Birth as verse 13 explains. Yet Jesus did not say that only a limited number could enter the new covenant - ALL believers are invited to partake (John 1:12-13). That's because they think the promises in the New Testament apply only to 144,000 persons since the time of Jesus. The rest will silently pass the plate and the cup round, without partaking. It is noteworthy that only some 14,000 Jehovah's Witnesses alive today will take the bread and the wine. How they then expect to be part of the kingdom of God is a mystery. That should worry them, but apparently it does not because they have been told it isn't necessary for them to be born again, contrary to what Jesus said in the Bible.
#Keep doing this in remembrance of me 2021 update
They have not been born again, they are not in the new covenant and Christ Jesus is not their mediator. This security update includes improvements that were a part of update KB5026446 (released May 24, 2023). It is fitting that the 8 million Jehovah's Witnesses who will come together on 23 March this year at their annual memorial of the death of Jesus will NOT take the bread and the wine. Every believer who has experienced the new birth and who has entered into this new covenant is obliged to partake of the bread and the wine until Jesus returns.
This is part of the new covenant Jesus introduced the night before he died. Jesus meant that all who belong to Him should remember what He did in laying down his life to atone for our sins whenever they came together to eat the bread and drink the wine, which represents his body and shed blood.
