If Matthew presents Jesus as King of the Jews, and Mark portrays Him as Jehovah’s Servant, Luke portrays Jesus as the perfect God-man, with an emphasis on His humanity. 

“Behold the Man!” is Luke’s main thrust, which makes sense because he writes to the Greeks, who mused much about humanity and embraced the gods and goddesses of Greek Mythology. In Luke’s gospel, we see God manifest in the flesh primarily, a Savior who identifies fully with our humanity and yet soars sinlessly and excellently above it.

In all, Luke wants us to know that Jesus is the perfect God-man. He is man enough to feel our pain and God enough to do something about it.

I believe that Jesus went to the cross and suffered and died for my sins. I also believe that Jesus is God's son. My husband passed away about a year and a half ago and I believe he is in Heaven. I want to be reunited with him when I die. I am reading scripture every day but I don't feel God's presence in my life. Pray for me. I also need the Holy Spirit in my life to guide me. Thank you.
