take up (cross back) | classic tee

our take up design is a member of our keywords collection, which features a key word or words from some of the most impactful Bible verses known to man. this particular design comes from Matthew 16:24: “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.’”

featuring just a few bold words in standard biblical serif font, it’s as if the words “take up” were taken straight from a page of your Bible and put on this piece of clothing. wear these precious words from the ancient word in minimalistic-yet-powerful style. 

the back design prominently features a large black cross, signifying the duty of every Christian to “carry their own cross” through life; dying to themselves in order to follow Christ in full heart and spirit.
