I posted in my blog on the 8th about my religion class. Here is another class assignment from that class. 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. A.In reading Luke 10:1-24 the thought most in my mind was the seventy were called as missionaries. Christ instructed the seventy in the tasks that they were to do. Those tasks included; go two by two to every city carrying no purse, or scrip, or shoes. The seventy were to give labor to those that would let them enter their house. They were to heal the sick and teach of the kingdom of God. Jesus also blessed the seventy that no harm would fall upon them. 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. A.The first article of Faith continues, “Namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth. Jesus set up His church on earth with order. He had the 12 apostles to assist him. Then he called the seventy to work to spread the gospel. There were actual apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists on the earth during Christ’s ministry. Today, we are blessed to have the same organization on the earth. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was patterned after the Church Jesus established. 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. A.The scriptures show the existence of the Seventy in multiple places. In Luke Jesus calls seventy to serve. He instructs them to go and teach others. He also tells them to heal the sick and bless those they teach. You can also read in D&C 107 where the Lord instructs the seventy to be called in the latter days.
