WEEK 6: SHARE AND REPORT

Luke 10:1-24 “The Lord appointed other Seventy also”

1.Summary of Lord’s counsel and instructions to Seventy- Two and two into every city and place.Pray unto God for laborers. Don’t take anything with you. Bless homes as you travel. As you travel into cities, eat the food that is before you. If the town does not receive you, then dust off your shoes, but be sure of doing that. He that heareth you heareth the Lord, and he that doesn’t like you doesn’t like the Lord. The Lord gives them power over Satan. “Your names are written in Heaven.” Give thanks unto God for your blessings.

2.Article of Faith 1:6 “We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church.” It’s interesting for me to read this scripture mostly because of my mission, Texas Fort Worth. In the Bible belt, the South, in every single town I was in, there were always several different churches that found it hard to believe in a Prophet, 12 Apostles, or if we got into it a quorum of the 70’s. It was easy to return their remarks and their reasoning for not having Prophets and Apostles, with this Article of Faith. Why not believe in the same exact organization as the Church that Christ had while he was on the earth. Huh, this church makes so much sense, I love it.

3. On the Churches scripture website the topic “Seventy” reads as follows “An office to which men are ordained in the Melchizedek Priesthood. Today, the quorums of Seventy are General Authorities of the Church who are given the apostolic authority but are not ordained Apostles. They devote their full time to the ministry.”  Simple right? This explains exactly what Luke was talking about in chapter 10. Seventy men that hold the priesthood, dedicated to the ministry...BAM!
