Diagram the sentence. An imperative sentence with the subject "you" understood, do is the verb, THIS, is the object of the sentence and at that point, the sentence is a complete one. The added phrase "in memory of Me" merely tells us why He wants us to "Do This"....This is the consecration of the bread and wine which He had just done.

>As Christ said..."do this in remembrance of Me."<

nope...He said "do THIS in memory of me"

Actually the emphasis would be on Do this....

Do (ποιεῖτε) is in the imperative mood, which is the mood of command. It is second person plural The subject is implied by this verb, "You do...." with you being plural.

This (τοῦτο) is the pronoun and is in the accusative meaning it is the object.

What is this we are to do? Coming later in the post.

I agree the word do (ποιεῖτε) is in the imperative mood, or mood of command. It is a present imperative. In other words, we are to continually have communion to remember what Christ did for us.

The verb. εὐχαριστέω, means 2168 euxaristéō (from 2095 /eú, "good" and 5485/xaris, "grace") – properly, acknowledging that "God's grace works well," i.e. for our eternal gain and His glory; to give thanks – literally, "thankful for God's good grace."

The word remembrance (ἀνάμνησις) in the Greek means properly, deliberate recollection, done to better appreciate the effects (intended results) of what happened; active, self-prompted recollection especially as a memorial.

When we eat the bread and drink the cup we give thanks and are reminded that He sacrificed His body and shed His blood for us.

And a knowledge of Judaism helps even more. When the Jews celebrate a memorial/ remembrance they are simply recalling a previous event. They are actually participating in that singular forensic activity. When they celebrate the Passover it is an actual participation in the events described in the Book of Exodus. Since Jesus was engaging in the Passover with His Jewish Apostles they all knew that this was not just a simple meal. They were participating in the actual original Paschal event and were expected to participate in the Paschal event at His command.
Look at the Book of Exodus the Lamb must be consumed, just as Jesus (the Lamb of God) told them to consume His body.

Now I don't expect you to believe my explanation of the Passover. Go to AskMoses.com and speak to one of the Orthodox Rabbis and ask if what I said is true.

BTW still waiting on you to tell me your degree since I revealed mine.
