Suffer His Cross

Jacob 1:8

"Wherefore, we would to God that we could persuade all men not to rebel against God, to provoke him to anger, but that all men would believe in Christ, and view his death, and suffer his cross and bear the shame of the world; wherefore, I, Jacob, take it upon me to fulfill the commandment of my brother Nephi."



Jacob encourages us all to do these things:

-not to rebel against God
-believe in Christ
-view his death
-suffer his cross
-bear the shame of the world

These are all loaded points. Each one is a life long pursuit and may never be attained in this life. To truly be as Christ is we must put ourselves where He was. We must feel as humble as He felt when he carried His own cross through mockers and sinners. He did it with love, and we can too! It's hard, but the only thing worth anything in this life.
