Seventy

 

Choice 1: Luke 10:1–24. “The Lord Appointed Other Seventy Also”

1. Review Luke 10:1–24. Based on these verses, write a summary of the Lord’s counsel and instructions He gave the seventy.

Pray for missionaries (those to spread the gospel)

Don’t worry about the essentials. Have faith that the Lord will pr

ovide

Peace be unto this house (Bless the homes)

When welcomed into a home, don’t depart from it

Heal the sick (The Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you)

Blessed with power from enemies and provided protection

2. 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.

The same principles in the scripture apply in the articles of faith that there was the same organization then as it is now. I know that the Lord has definitely had a hand in the gospel that was then and now. He is very organized and orderly. This church is a house of order.

3. 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 Lord has appointed the seventy today as well as what their responsibilities are as special witnesses of Jesus Christ. Building up the kingdom of God and regulating the churches affairs are the same as they were then.

3. What do you think is the best thing about your assignment, and how do you think it could it be improved?

I loved the first question in this assignment because of how informative it was. I think this lesson could be improved by asking a question about what we could personally learn from it. 

Personal Application:

I thought this was really great for me to learn that I feel we could all be disciples of Christ. The list above was an eye opener and let me know that we could be examples to others.
