But some scholars believe, and I agree, that Jesus’ instruction to “do this” included more than a simple and short act, or ritual, involving bread and wine. Some believe that Jesus’ “do this” also refers to how we are to live. We don’t just remember Jesus during Holy Communion at church; we remember him in how we live our lives daily. Because Jesus’ body was broken, because his blood was poured out for us, we too should live daily for him, broken and poured out.
