Luke 10:1-24
The Lord Appointed Other Seventy Also
1. Luke 10:1-24
In the beginning of Luke Chapter 10 Jesus appoints seventy men to go out two-by-two, to teach the people, the Lord sent out laborers into his harvest. He acknowledges that the path will be challenging, that he is sending "lambs among wolves". (v.3) He instructs the seventy to go out without, purse, script, and shoes; basically going into the world unprepared in order to rely fully on the Lord and His blessings.
2. Articles of Faith 1:6
The sixth Article of Faith states, "We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth."
This article of faith is basically saying that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is organized in the matter of Christ's church as originally organized.
3. Guide to the Scriptures
The seventy are called to preach the gospel and to look over the affairs of the church throughout all the world. In the New Testament Christ calls a seventy of his own and calls them to do the very same thing.
