Lesson Notes

Today we discussed the importance of temples and receiving the Ordinances and Blessings of the Temple.    The temple is a place where God can "reveal unto His people the ordinances of His house and the glories of His kingdom, and teach the people the way of salvation.

In April 1842, the Prophet Joseph Smith said "The Church is not fully organized, in its proper order, and cannot be until the Temple is completed, where places will be provided for the administration of the ordinances of the Priesthood."  

In the temple, we learn the things of eternity and receive ordinances of salvation for ourselves and our ancestors.  The Lord started gathering His people for the purpose of receiving the ordinances, the blessings, and the glories that God has in store for His Saints.  He wants all of His children to receive these blessings and the power of the Spirit we can receive by attending the temple.
