During his ministry on earth, Jesus Christ gave priesthood authority to the leaders of His Church. Unfortunately, over time apostasy occurred, and the earth was without the blessings of the priesthood until they were once again given to man during the Restoration.
But because of that Restoration, Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles says in this fourth and final interview segment on the oath and covenant of the priesthood, it is readily apparent that “No man leads this Church. It is the Savior’s Church, and He leads through priesthood authority by delegating to one person [the President of the Church] that power and authority, and he [the President] delegates to others the operation of the Church here on earth.”
• How did the apostles recieve the authority at the time of Christ?
• How was that authority eventually lost?
• What led to the priesthood being restored?
• How is priesthood authority bestowed today?
• What is meant by the term keys?
• How can we know the presiding authority is using the proper authority?
