Witnessing of Christ: Week 6

Review Luke 10:1-24. Based on these verses give a summary of the Lord’s counsel and instructions He gave the Seventy:

The biggest counsel that the Lord gave to the Seventy is that as they are a representation of the Lord Jesus Christ. They have a responsibility as they go throughout the lands teaching and healing the people to make sure they understand who their following, and show such an example that the people will be able to see that light of Christ emulate from them.

Article of Faith 6 reads, “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 is the same yesterday, today and forever. As I was reading through these verses several times the thought kept coming in my mind, we are here today doing the same work as those of the Savior’s time on earth. Our responsibility is just as great, we may not have the calling that they did. But we still are held responsible to preach the truth to everyone and represent the church in a manner that would make the Lord proud.

Go to the Church’s Scripture Website and read the topic of the Seventy in the Guide of the Scriptures. Describe in one or two sentences how the scriptures show the existence of this office in the priesthood.

                When the Lord sends his Seventy to go out among the people to all and heal them, preach to them, be a witness of Christ. That is the exact definition of what a Seventy is, to be a witness unto Christ throughout entire world.
