Joachim Jeremias (1)

Theology Quotes Logo

'In remembrance of me' can then scarcely mean 'that you may remember me', but most probably 'that God may remember me'. This means that the command to repeat the rite is not a summons to the disciples to preserve the memory of Jesus and be vigilant ('repeat the breaking of bread so that you may not forget me'), but it is an eschatologically oriented instruction: 'Keep joining yourselves together as the redeemed community by the table rite, that in this way God may be daily implored to bring about the consummation in the parousia.' By coming together daily for table fellowship in the short period of time before the parousia and by confessing in this way Jesus as their Lord, the disciples represent the initiated salvation work before God and they pray for its consummation.
Joachim Jeremias
The Eucharistic Words of Jesus, 254-255.
