Luke’s portrayal of Jesus was intimate, examining the truth of His claims and character. He reveals the story and mission of Jesus: how the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost. Luke explores Jesus’ personal encounters with both Jews and Gentiles, showing us that Jesus is the Son of God, Messiah, teacher, Savior, servant, resurrection, truth, and Lord.
When Jesus came to earth, He did not come with the grandeur of a king. Rather, He came in a humility that extended from His humble birth in a wooden manger to His humble death on a wooden cross. His interactions with people were marked by a gentle care that called people into a life of faith through grace. The undeserved kindness of the Gospel creates humility in those who follow Jesus.
