Jesus' ministry was for all, especially for those who were rejected or diminished in value by their society. Luke places special emphasis on the Holy Spirit and on prayer. After highlighting the role of the Holy Spirit in the birth and ministry of Jesus, Luke begins the sequel to his gospel by telling of the Holy Spirit's outpouring Acts 2.
As to prayer, Luke not only pictures Jesus at prayer but also includes several parables that highlight the importance of prayer. As you read Luke, be alert to how often these themes appear in this Gospel. Luke describes Jesus on the road. While on his extended journey to Jerusalem, Jesus heals, teaches, and disciples his followers.
Then, the book climaxes on the road to Emmaus — Luke's Jesus is on a journey with us. Luke portrays Jesus in the gospel in essentially according to the image of the divine man. The person in whom divine powers are visible and are exercised, both in his teaching and in his miracle doing. These deeply venerated icons were often the focus of religious festivals and carried in procession.
As an artist Christian tradition, starting from the 8th century, states that Luke was the first icon painter. He is said to have painted pictures of the Virgin Mary and Child, in particular the Hodegetria image in Constantinople now lost.
