Several themes emerge from this magnificent Gospel, the first of which is God's love for sinners. Luke focuses particularly on those excluded from Jewish society, including pagans, Samaritans, women, tax collectors, and lepers. God offers repentant sinners his forgiveness, which leads Luke to emphasize joy. It also describes how the fear of God is manifested in people who are in the presence of God or his works, and emphasizes the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the prayers of Jesus.
