Theological themes of the Gospel of Luke are: Jesus is the promised [[Messiah]] king of the Old Testament; the kingdom of God is for the humble, the repentant sinner, the poor, the outcast, and the outsider; God's salvation; the Jewish Messiah is not only for the [[Jew]]s, but for the [[Gentiles]] as well; the Messiah King was rejected by the ones He came to save and Christians must be willing to suffer persecution and rejection as they follow the example of Christ.<ref>[https://deeperriches.com/themes-more-luke/ Themes and More in Luke]</ref>
