Tip of the Day, June 18 Only Jesus Holds the Priesthood

June 18 – Heb. 9:11-12; “But Christ being come and high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us”.

It is established that the priesthood is forever.  Christ’s blood was shed for us and serves as the one and only high priest for eternity. No need for more high priests, no need to worry if we need it all restored, it is a done deal.

“The Gospel has brought to us the Holy Priesthood, which is again restored to the children of men.  The keys of that Priesthood are here; we have them in our possession; we can unlock, and we can shut up.  We can obtain salvation, and we can administer it.”  Journal of Discourses 4:299, Brigham Young.
