Unit One:Choice 1: Luke 10:1–24. “The Lord Appointed Other Seventy Also”
This is a really interesting scripture reference because
first the Lord lets them know that the harvest is great so that they know that
not only is it large but it is precious as well. I feel that the Lord is first
showing them how important their duty is, and then letting them know that there
aren’t many people working right now on the side of the Lord, but that the Lord
will continue to call workers to help them which definitely include ministering
angels. This is showing them also that the work will be really hard because
there will be a lot of opposition but that the Lord is in charge and therefore
he will help and bless them. He also tells them not to bring money and things
with them, I believe this is to help them see that their duty will be an
important one but it won’t be easy. He also told them that if there are people
who are rejecting the gospel then they shouldn’t share the Gospel with them because
they aren’t deserving of it.
What is wonderful about this scripture is that it is showing
how the Gospel is being taught by those with authority to cast out spirits and
to heal the sick and to do all manner of miracles. This is showing that in the
church right now there are also worthy men who have this power and that because
of it they can bless others and do all manner of miracles. It is showing that
this truly is the true church of Jesus Christ because they are being led by
Heavenly Father and therefore are given the direction to do the same miracles
that were done in the early beginnings of the Church.
The
topic of the Seventy explains that they are called to be specific witnesses of
the Savior Jesus Christ. As well as are called to build the church and to take
care of the affairs of the kingdom here on earth, that they will travel sharing
the Gospel and testifying of the Savior.
