Something I really enjoyed from the reading today is the right to administer in the Melchizedek Priesthood that Abraham desired. As a priesthood holder in these days, it is crazy to think that this all started because of him and how everyone who possesses the Melchizedek Priesthood is an heir to the Abrahamic covenant. I found it interesting how before Abraham, you had to be in the family in order to receive it. But now we can receive it from any worthy priesthood holder. It really shows how important Abraham was in the goal of furthering the chruch to this day. , I really enjoyed your insights from the reading today. It is crazy to think about how much the priesthood and the church has changed and evolved, but to me it is honestly a testament to its truth! I think at the time, this is the only way that they could handle the priesthood, but we are so blessed to live in a time with the fullness of the gospel on the earth. I am so grateful for it! I love how you mentioned that priesthood is an essential part of the Abrahamic covenant. I would add that the sealing ordinance is also super important when it comes to the Abrahamic covenant. o The profound significance of the Melchizedek Priesthood, as highlighted in today's reading, resonates deeply with the legacy of Abraham. It's fascinating to recognize that the privilege to administer in this priesthood has evolved into a universal inheritance for all worthy males members of the church. In contrast to the ancestral exclusivity pre-Abraham, the priesthood is now accessible through laying on off hands by those who holds it. This transformation underscores Abraham's pivotal role in advancing the Church through the ages. As a contemporary priesthood bearer, the realization that my authority stems from Abraham's desire for the Melchizedek Priesthood is both humbling and awe-inspiring. In President Nielson's talk, he expresses deep gratitude for the gospel of Jesus Christ and emphasizes the profound joy that comes from living in harmony with God's plan. Drawing a parallel between shopping patterns and life choices, President Nielson underscores the importance of wise decision-making, particularly in the sacred institution of marriage. The talk strongly advocates for the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, asserting the virtue of a temple marriage as the highest and most enduring. The connection between family, priesthood keys, and eternal ordinances is highlighted, emphasizing the role of families in achieving exaltation. I really love that talk.
