Through Different Eyes

The other night, I went to the church to get my temple recommend renewed.  One of these interviews with our bishop can take so long.  For us,  it took about 45 minutes.  The bishop talked for a while and then asked the first question.  I answered, and then he talked about it for a while, and then he asked the second one.  And so on and so forth.  But he said a couple things that I thought were so interesting! 

First of all, he talked about how a lot of people think of the Priesthood as this one thing. But really it has 4 parts: 

1. Birthright

2. Keys

3. Authority 

4. I can't remember  :(

But then the thing that I really found interesting was when we were talking about how President Monson is the only one on Earth that holds all the keys of the Priesthood.  But how he only holds the keys given to man.  He talked about how Christ has 3 more keys of the Priesthood that haven't been given to man. 

1. The Key of Creation

2. The Key of Death

3. The Key of Hell 

That's why He had the ability to create the world. That's why He could overcome death.  And that's why He will have the ability to be the judge at the final judgement.  

I thought that it was so interesting! After he said all that, I look up at the picture of the Savior that was behind the bishop, and I saw Him so much different that I had before.  It was so powerful! When I looked at Him this time, and every time since, I don't only see Jesus, but I look into His eyes and I see the ultimately worthy Priesthood holder.  I see a man that can literally save us.  I don't really know how to explain it, but it was powerful.  I truly saw Him through different eyes. And I still see Him like that every time I see a  picture of our Savior.  Try it. At least once.  It is powerful!
