With an invitation in 3 Nephi 12:24, Christ calls, "Come unto me with full purpose of heart, and I will receive you." In Taylor’s image, Christ’s arms are open to a crowd, individuals who direct their gaze to Him. The disciples’ clothing is based on fabric patterns from all over the world, indicating the worldwide response to that invitation.
"As we turn our hearts to Jesus Christ, we have greater love for those around us and come together as a people, becoming one in Him."
—Emma Taylor
