I beg to differ, this IS my body, this IS my blood. We can captialize any word to make the emphasis. My question to you is this; You say, do this in rememberance of me, correct? Exactly what are you doing in rememberance of Him?

Would it not be the preceding, take and eat and drink his body and blood?

Rememberance in Jesus’ time was a bit different. Rememberance was a re-presentation, a kind of to make present again.
Remember in our language is to think about again. Their rembember was to not ever forget. In remembering they re-presented Jesus and his sacrifice so that you never needed to remember, you never forgot.

In remebrance - we symbolically partake in a communion service to remember just what He sacrificed for us. To communally remember that we are His disciples, we are called to preach the good news to our town, our state, our nation, our world like He commanded His disciples at that first last supper.

Consider this: if we’re to mimic the Last Supper directly, then should we do the rest of the Passover ritual, too? For is that not just as important in the actual Last Supper that He provided for His disciples? Why should we only pick and choose a few small parts of the entire Last Supper to recreate in order to have communion in remembrance of Him?

Remembrance of this sort is like those memories that are part of us: of being at the birth of children or the death of a parent. As members of the Body of Christ, we in a state of grace, remember what He remembers, we and all the Church starting with the disciples at that Last Supper. We, however, if we are not careful, reduce it to the observance of an event that happened to others, a long, long time ago.
