The Gospel of Luke is the gospel that portrays Jesus most clearly as Savior. It is in this gospel that we find a Jesus of sensitivity and compassion. There is great gentleness, but there is nothing soft or easy-going about this Jesus. On the other hand, he does reflect the God who is the God of Sinners. The Lucan Jesus, who truly knows the Father, is wholly in the business of lifting the burden of sin, not of adding to it. For us moderns, Luke's preaching of the Good News may be more congenial than others. Wilfrid John Harrington is an Irish Dominican.
