The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit

The Anointing of the Seventy

Moses had a very difficult calling. He was not a pastor of a local mid-sized congregation: he was the shepherd of over nearly a million people. A responsibility like that cannot be handled alone. Fortunately for Moses, he was not alone. He had seventy elders, but more than that, they had the anointing of the Holy Spirit. What can we learn from this occasion? What does that mean for New Testament believers? Are we all called to ministry? In this message, Dr. Sproul explains the significance of "The Anointing of the Seventy" as we consider our personal roles in the kingdom of God.
