The Detailed Gospel of Luke is written to Theophilus, (meaning beloved of God) by Luke, a Gentile physician who was a possible slave and close companion of Paul. Luke writes to Theophilus to prove with certainty that Jesus is God. The book of Luke showed Jesus as God attentive to women, the weak and the poor, and Luke noted the details before the miracles and then included the reaction of the crowds, which he described with the words: amazed, astonished, and Wonder. Luke carefully studied what was written in Luke 1:1-4, Jesus through the eyewitness testimony of the disciples and the intimate voice of Mary, as he recounted his song of praise in chapter 1:46-55. The book of Luke is an extensive account of the life of Jesus, recording many more miracles than the other gospels, including the genealogy of Jesus back to Adam and the birth of Jesus through His life, death, and resurrection. Luke is a wonderful storyteller who captures the life of Jesus in prayer as the human Messiah in conflict with religious rulers, who came to liberate all humanity with His life and resurrection. The Identity of Jesus The identities of Jesus are Prophet, Christ of God, Son of Man and Son of God are the names found in Luke 9:7-36 Luke remembers the boy, Jesus' first words in the temple: " Do you know that I must be about my Father's business?”, this begins the slow unveiling of Jesus as the son of God who is God. Luke's gospel identifies Jesus as a human being. For example, in chapter 19, verse 41, Jesus is sitting on the colt of a donkey and turns towards Jerusalem and bursts into tears. Fundamental Issues of Religious Rulers Luke constantly compares those who get it to those who don't, exposing the foolish religious scholars, as in chapter 7, “All…the middle of the paper…remains with him. Zacheias is a terrible crook. Restored 4 times and is happy to return all money. He sits on the colt of a donkey and turns towards Jerusalem and bursts into tears and says in Luke 19:42-43, and said, "If you, even you, had known in this day what peace would bring you, but now it is hidden from your eyes. Days will come for you when your enemies will build a barrier against you, they will surround you and surround you on all sides". Personal reflection Luke is the gospel of prayer, in chapter 11 we hear Jesus praying at midnight those who believe pray. The stone Those who should recognize Jesus do not and those who do are those who should not know and do not know, parables and paradoxes, marginalized and unlikely. Focus' on the Ministry of Mercy of Jesus blind man cries out for Mercy, The last miracle
