To me, one of the great lessons of Section 124 (in our Come, Follow Me reading) is that the purpose of priesthood offices is to minister to our brothers and sisters as would Christ, whose priesthood it is.
offices I have given unto you ... for the work of the ministry and the perfecting of my saints.
Doctrine and Covenants 124:143
I am grateful for Joseph's testimony in Liberty Jail that we can rely on Jesus Christ for our deliverance.
I'm grateful for Jesus Christ who warns of coming storms and for Zion and her stakes where we can gather for refuge.
"The gathering together upon the land of Zion, and upon her stakes, may be for a defense, and for a refuge from the storm"
Doctrine and Covenants 115:6
