David O. McKay's Vision of Christ — Confirmation of Divine Presence

President David O. McKay testified throughout his life of a sacred vision he received early in his ministry in which he beheld the Savior. This vision became the spiritual foundation of his entire presidency and was referenced repeatedly in his addresses. McKay taught that this manifestation confirmed to him the reality of the Savior's presence guiding the Church. His presidency was marked by unprecedented Church growth, temple expansion, and the global consolidation of missionary work — all flowing from the vision that sustained his faith.
