Jesus Christ Has the Power to Heal
Almost everyone gets sick or hurt. Sometimes this can be taken care of at home, sometimes we have to go to the doctor or hospital. There is another way we can be helped--by the power of the priesthood.
When Jesus Christ was on the earth, he healed the sick. He healed Jairus's daughter. Jairus had great faith and believed that if Jesus came and blessed his daughter, she would get well. When Jesus arrived at Jairus's home, people thought his daughter was dead. Jesus took the girl by the hand and told her to arise. The girl got up from her bed, completely well again.
Today, men who hold the Melchizedek priesthood can give blessings just like Jesus could in His day. When Jessica arrived home from school, her father met her at the door and told her that her new baby brother was born that morning, but he had been born early and was very tiny and weak and might not live more than a few hours.
Jessica's father called one of their home teachers to help him give the baby a blessing. Jessica's father and home teacher gently placed their hands on the new baby's head and Jessica's father blessed him to live to fulfill his mission on earth. Jessica knew that because of the power of the priesthood, her little brother would grow and become strong.
We are thankful that Jesus has given righteous men the Melchizedek Priestood so they can bless us when we need special help.
