Luke 22 is a great description of this event. Jesus said, "Keep on doing this in remembrance of me." It occurred on the night of the Passover, a celebration occurring once a year. Jesus’ celebration as well should occur that night, once a year.
A huge problem I see is that all are being told to partake. Why? Luke 22:29-30 is clear on that matter. The covenant was made to those who would sit on thrones, other than Jesus in his kingdom. (Rev 1:6, Rev 20:6) This was the "little flock" (Luke 12:32) who are the ones who will sit on thrones, these are the anointed, the bride of Christ, numbered at 144,000. Thus the "great crowd" (Rev 7:9) of "other sheep" (John 10:16) who are not of that fold should not be partaking. I believe it’s a major sin for them to do so.
So Why are all being told to partake?

Neil Steven Lawrence oh yeah? The call for all to partake in the emblems of the Last Supper stems from Jesus’ words in Luke 22, where He invited all His disciples at the table to participate. Communion is a symbolic act of remembrance, unity, and proclamation of Christ’s sacrifice. Paul affirms this inclusiveness in 1 Corinthians 11—emphasizing self-examination but not exclusion. By sharing the emblems, believers publicly identify with Christ’s work, honor His command, and celebrate spiritual fellowship. Would welcome any thoughts on how different traditions interpret this invitation.
