Rocket of the Priesthood

The priesthood is like a rocket ship's flames. It has so much power and potential that is often not utilized. Priesthood members of the church often go up and say "Wow, look! I can light a candle using this rocket's flame. We can light candles! The room can get hotter with these!"

Yes, worthy members can use the priesthood and light their own "candles". Collectively, the heat and light can become vast as a church. Much goodness can be done in this state. But what they must remember is that the rocket's flame is far more powerful. Each person has the potential to accept more power and responsibility, far more than they do now--so much that their wimpy little candles would be melted away and they themselves could obtain the great power equal to the rocket's flame of eternal priesthood power.
