The question is if God loves us, how can he teach us, lead us, and do ordinances of the gospel for us if he isn't here. This is where the miracle of the priesthood comes in. The priesthood is the authority to act in God’s name. To say God isn't here but cause i have the priesthood i can take his place. To fill the gap between God and men. Though time God gave the priesthood to prophet though heaven messagers . The priesthood is give to other by the laying on of hands. Like when moses give Aaron and his son the permission and power to be priest.
When Christ was on the earth he call and ordained 12 apostles. He chose them, they didn't ask to be apostles. They were called of God. In Matthew 10 Christ gives the apostles the priesthood. And when he had acalled unto him his btwelve disciples, he gave them cpower against dunclean spirits, to cast them out, and to eheal all manner of fsickness and all manner of disease.
In the priesthood holds the power to heal the sick, teach, cast out devils, to baptism, give the gift of Holy Ghost, and to receive revelation for the Church as Whole. The apostles used all these to lead the Church of Jesus Christ. Even thou Christ was off the earth, He lead the Christ by revelation to leader of the Church.
When Joseph Smith restored the true and living Church Of Jesus Christ back to the earth heaven messagers once again visited the earth and gave him the priesthood.
Today any worthy male of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints may hold and use the priesthood. An unbroken chain of priesthood ordination all the way back to Christ. All are imporontant int the church , the priesthood is just a opportunity to serve other. I have see the power of God affect my life though worthy priesthood holders.
