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.

He calls them and sends them out to preach the gospel. They are given power over the adversary, and promised nothing will hurt them. They are commanded to rely on the Lord and take no thought about food or shelter. The Lord will provide.

1. 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 Lord still appoints the seventy. It is done through revelation, and the laying on of hands. Learn to love the people you serve. If they receive you then teach them the gospel. We have the priesthood here on earth again just like the prophets of old. We have power over the adversary. We can perform miracles in Christs name and cast out devils.

1. 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 scriptures tell us time and time again that there is need of the seventy. Jesus called them and in later revelation commanded that more be called. He even said that we should call as many as are needed for the work.
