Friday Topic: What If the Priesthood Had Never Been Restored?
💎 Eternal Truth: "The restoration of the priesthood makes essential ordinances, covenants, and blessings available to God's children today"
Imagine waking up tomorrow in a world where the priesthood had never been restored. Joseph Smith still prayed. The Book of Mormon was still translated. People still believed in Jesus Christ. You could still read the scriptures. You could still pray.
But John the Baptist never appeared. Peter, James, and John never came.
💭 Think About It
- What Would Be Missing?
Think of the following ordinances, and which ones would be unable to be performed without the restoration of the priesthood.
- Baptism by proper authority
- Confirmation and the gift of the Holy Ghost
- The sacrament administered by proper authority
- Priesthood blessings
- Temple ordinances
- Temple sealings
- Priesthood ordination
Think About Your Own Life
- Think of three ordinances from the list above that matter especially to you.
- Why do they matter to you?
✏️ Today's Question
