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 fulfil the commandment of my brother Nephi.

Quote for Discussion

“To suffer the cross of Christ is to be willing to bear the burdens of Christian discipleship, particularly of crucifying the ‘old man of sin’ and putting on Christ. ‘if any man will come after me,’ Jesus taught his meridian Twelve, ’let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. And now for a man to take up his cross, is to deny himself all ungodliness, and every worldly lust, and keep my commandments.’ (JST, Matthew 16:25-26; cf. Matthew 10:38; 2 Nephi 9:18; 3 Nephi 12:30.)”

(McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary on the Book of Mormon, vol. 2, p. 5)
