1. Review Luke 10:1-24. Base on these verses, write a summary of the Lord's counsel and instructions He gave the seventy.
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.
3. Go to the Church's scripture website and read the topic of the "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.
When the Lord appointed the 70 His goal was to strengthen his church and continue to spread the gospel. The 70 were to teach the people and rely on them for food and shelter. They were to bring the gospel to the people. They were to heal those who had faith and help those that needed it.
As in the days of Christ we have the Quorum of the Seventy and they each has a certain area to administer to. They have a stewardship over these people as did the Seventy in the days of Christ. They were to heal and bless those in need and the seventy do that now as well. Then and now men with the priesthood have authority over Satan.
The scriptures show us how the Seventy serve us. They give their time and talents to helpthe gospel grow.
