Join us today as we study this week's Come Follow Me materials dealing with sections 20-22 of the Doctrine and Covenants. We consider the principles of priesthood shared in this section and we reflect on the blessing of ordinances.

D Todd Christofferson: … The priesthood is not divisible. An elder holds as much priesthood as an Apostle. When a man [has the priesthood conferred upon him], he receives all of it. However, there are offices within the priesthood—divisions of authority and responsibility. … Sometimes one office is spoken of as being ‘higher than’ or ‘lower than’ another office. Rather than ‘higher’ or ‘lower,’ offices in the Melchizedek Priesthood represent different areas of service.” Brethren, I devoutly hope that we will no longer speak in terms of being “advanced” to another office in the Melchizedek Priesthood.
