The purpose of the lesson I'm teaching my Primary class this Sunday is "To teach the children that the priesthood is the power of God." The more I think about it, the more incredible this truth seems. The Priesthood is the power of God. Literally. It is the power by which He performs miracles. It is the power by which He created the earth and everything on it. The Priesthood is the key to omnipotence. And He has shared that power with us.
Of course, He put some pretty heavy training wheels on it first. He doesn't give us unlimited power; there are several Priesthood powers we have not yet been given, but the amount of power we have been given is astounding. We have been authorized to perform sacred ordinances. We can bind souls together. We can even perform some miracles, mostly in the form of healing. The Priesthood is incredible. It's real-life divine magic. And what's most amazing to me is that God lets us wield it.
