Lesson 9: Priesthood Blessings and Ordinances
Imagine walking up to this car. You are told the car is yours to take you to the place that would make you the most happy. One problem--no keys and no license to drive!
Heavenly Father has promised us something even better than a cool car. He has promised us that we can live happily with Him forever. Just like the car, we need to be able to unlock the doors to that promise.
The Priesthood is the power of God that allows worthy men to act in the place of our loving Heavenly Father. Since the beginning of time, Heavenly Father has allowed worthy men to hold the KEYS to this sacred power. For a time, after Christ's death, the priesthood was taken from the earth. The gates were again locked.
Through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the priesthood KEYS with its power has been restored on earth and is a special gift from Heavenly Father to bless our lives. Through priesthood authority and power, we can receive the ordinances and blessings necessary to live again with Heavenly Father and live better lives here on earth.
