The Lord Himself instituted the manner in which He and His death should be REMEMBERED, and that is:
...through THE LORD'S TABLE (not through animal sacrifices as any sort of memorial, as some say must be done again during a future Millennium)...
...And we are welcomed to do so AS OFT AS YE DRINK IT (unlike the Old Covenant Feast of the Passover, which it supersedes, and which had been strictly observed only on set dates once a year).
Therefore the Lord's table is not the Old Covenant Feast of the Passover only celebrated with a new appreciation. It's a new and distinct institution which supersedes the Old entirely.
And neither the Lord nor the Apostles mentioned any other institution for remembering Him, aside from the Lord's table - neither by Israel nor the Church, neither in Jerusalem nor elsewhere, neither now nor at any time in the future.
And the Lord's table is to be THE institution for remembering Him and showing forth His death - all the way up UNTIL HE COMES. And then once He comes we shall no longer need any external observance to help us remember Him, for we shall be with Him and we shall see Him as He is, forever.
