Lukes introduction to Christ is beautiful because as an artist representative of the church that God calls His Masterpiece Luke has wonderfully reflected that back upon Him to Whom all glory is due. He shows forth Jesus as the model, One filled with the Spirit and obedient to the Father, One who loved sinners, the weak, the poor and the suffering.
Luke made Jesus very attractive to anyone willing to change their lives so as to allow God into their lives. Luke goes out of his way to show Jesus treating women with the same respect and acceptance as men. And he shows social needs of Christians that demanded radical commitment to Christ and the gospel, poor servants of God, fully at the service of their neighbour. They (Christians) are on a spiritual pilgrimage following after the One Who went before, good stewards of God's gifts. But also Luke ties it in with what went before so as even in that he followied close to Christ.
Luke 24:27
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
