“This Shall Ye Always Observe to Do”
The Savior is here stating that the sacrament is the standing law or ordinance for the Church whereby the covenants of baptism are renewed. It appears that the word always means “until the end of mortal time.” We know from the scripture that the sacrament will continue to be performed in the Church even at the Savior’s second coming and perhaps through the Millennium (see D&C 27:5-14; see also Bruce R. McConkie, Millennial Messiah, pp. 586-87).
