Take up the cross
Behold, I manifest unto you, Joseph Knight, by these words, that you must take up your cross, in the which you must pray vocally before the world as well as in secret, and in your family, and among your friends, and in all places. Doctrine and Covenants 23:6
The Lord repeats His invitation to follow Him by taking up the cross, the symbol of His own sacrifice.
