COMMENTS ABOUT THIS SCRIPTURE:
See Come Follow Me March 11-17
Matthew 10:1-10
Jesus called Twelve Apostles and gave them power to do His work.
Do the children you teach know that we have Twelve Apostles today? How can you use these verses to teach them about the importance of modern-day Apostles and what they are called to do?
Possible Activities
-
Summarize Matthew 10:1–10 in simple terms. (See Christ Ordaining the Apostles, Gospel Art Book, no. 38.) Explain that Jesus calls Apostles to help Him build His Church.
-
Let the children count the Apostles in the picture Christ Ordaining the Apostles (Gospel Art Book, no. 38) and in a picture of the current Quorum of the Twelve Apostles (see LDS.org or a general conference issue of the Ensign or Liahona). Explain that we have twelve Apostles today, just as in Jesus’s time.
-
Hide pictures of the modern-day Apostles around the room (for pictures, see a recent general conference issue of the Ensign or Liahona). Invite the children to find the pictures, and tell them a little about each Apostle (see “Meet Today’s Prophets and Apostles” on LDS.org).
-
Invite a child to hold up a picture of the First Presidency and a picture of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Ask the child to lead the other children around the room to a picture of Jesus. Testify that the prophets and apostles lead us to Jesus Christ.
-
Share your testimony of the Lord’s Apostles.
“And also all they who receive this priesthood receive me, saith the Lord.” (D&C 84:35.
I think this statement refers to those who receive the officers of the priesthood who are appointed to represent the Lord.
“And also all they who receive this priesthood receive me, saith the Lord;
“For he that receiveth my servants receiveth me;
“And he that receiveth me receiveth my Father;
“And he that receiveth my Father receiveth my Father’s kingdom; therefore all that my Father hath shall be given unto him.
“And this is according to the oath and covenant which belongeth to the priesthood.” (D&C 84:35–39.)
