As Latter-day Saints (Mormons), we believe that in order to preach the Gospel and administer its ordinances, a man must receive authority from God. That authority we call "priesthood", and it can only be received from the hands of someone who in fact has it.
This video recounts how Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery received authority from God, through the hands of John the Baptist, Peter, James, and John. The video also includes words from the apostle Boyd K. Packer, who explains why it was necessary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to receive such authority.
Thank you for this, it is helping me prepare my Sacrament talk!
