Choice 1: Luke 10:1–24.
“The Lord Appointed Other Seventy Also”
- Review Luke 10:1–24. Based on these verses, write a summary of the Lord’s counsel and instructions He gave the seventy.
He sent them out by twos to every city and place to preach
the gospel.
He told them to not carry a purse (personal belongings), a
scrip, or shoes.
Eat in homes the homes where you are received.
Heal the sick.
If you are not received, go your way.
Those who receive them, also receive Christ. Those who do not receive
them, do not receive Christ.
He gave them power over Satan as well as other enemies.
Rejoice not because you have power over your enemies; rather rejoice
because your names are written in heaven.
- Articles of Faith 1:6 states, “We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church.” Using the principles taught from Luke 10:1–2, 8–9, 17–20, write a paragraph that supports this Article of Faith.
Our church is patterned after the church Christ organized
when he was on earth. Christ was a prophet and led and guided the church. We
have a prophet today who leads and guides us, and who can receive revelation
for our whole church. Christ called twelve apostles who served with him. We
have twelve apostles who serve with our prophet. Christ called seventy men to
preach the gospel. We have several quorum of seventy who preach the gospel. We
also have missionaries who go out into the world by twos to preach and teach. I
am so thankful to be a part of a church that has been organized just as Christ
organized his church when he was on this earth.
- Go to the Church’s scripture website and read the topic of “Seventy” in the Guide to the Scriptures. Describe in one or two sentences how the scriptures show the existence of this office in the priesthood.
The seventy has been given the power to heal the sick and cast
out devils just as the seventy in Jesus’ day was given that same power.
