Doctrine & Covenants 12-13, Upon You My Fellow Servants, Come Follow Me
Join us this week as week as we discuss the revelation given to Joseph Knight Sr. and the restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood through John the Baptist.
Joseph Knight Sr. was a humble and faithful friend to Joseph Smith. He was there time and time again supporting him and the work of the Lord. Joseph Knight represent many of us in the church. We don't have a huge part to play in the restoration or moving the work forward but what we do is huge. No one person's responsibilities, callings, assignments, etc. are bigger or smaller than the others. All are for the purpose of bringing people to Christ.
Oliver Cowdery and Joseph Smith sought guidance about the authority of God and baptism. There in Harmony, PA, they were visited by John the Baptist who restored the Aaronic Priesthood to them and gave them authority to Baptize. We look into why John didn't just do all of this himself since he was the one who had the authority. Why did he have Joseph and Oliver baptize each other.
Finally, we look at the most intriguing part of section 13 where we are told that sacrifice will be brought back to the earth for a time.
