"Remembrance" in Luther's Eucharistic Writings (III)

We know, however, that it is the Lord's Supper, in name and in reality, not the supper of Christians. For the Lord not only instituted it, but also prepares and gives it himself, and is himself cook, bulter, food, and drink, as we have demonstrated our belief above. Christ does not say, in commanding and instituting it, "Do this as your summons to mutual recognition and love," but, "Do this in remembrance of me" [Luke 22:19, I Cor. 11:24]. If we are to do it in remembrance of him, then surely it is instituted in his service and in his honor. But with what do we serve him? With eating and drinking? In my opinion, we do it by strengthening our faith and learning to know him, as we have often taught. (This Is My Body, LW 37: 142)
