Packed with miraculous healings, Luke's Gospel presents Jesus as one who had one clear mission - to spread a message of love and redemption to those people who needed it most. In Luke's Gospel we read about the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. Light shines on the downtrodden. Women are seen as equals.
Luke, a doctor by profession, was determined to set down the facts gleaned from people who knew Jesus and was able to write an in-depth account of the turbulent life, revolutionary teaching, untimely death and miraculous resurrection who he believed to the "Christ of God, the Chosen One."
