One thing that I noticed about the structure and arrangement of Luke is that the book is mostly comprised of short parables and things that Jesus said. Other than the beginning and end of the book, there isn’t a lot of information about things that happened to Jesus throughout his life. Additionally I noticed is that Luke uses geography to separate and structure this gospel. Luke presents Jesus’s life like a long journey ending at Jerusalem. Along the way, he stops at many different places where he preaches and heals people.
To me, the high points of Luke’s gospel were Jesus’s birth and his resurrection. I think that the stories and parables in between these events don’t really add to the plot or flow of the story of Jesus’s life but are mainly used to establish his message of love, mercy and forgiveness. This message is mostly shown through Jesus’s treatment of other characters, especially the poor, unappreciated, or those considered to be sinful or bad by others. Throughout his ministry, Jesus shows mercy, respect, and compassion towards people that the rest of society has forgotten. In the book of Luke there are numerous examples of Jesus’s remarkable love towards those that others do not care about, which helps to encourage the reader to do the same.

I agree with you that the Gospel does not share much information about the life of Jesus, but I do think that the parables and sayings were a way to highlight the importance of Jesus’ mission to spread God’s word and love to everyone. I think that this Gospel allowed the reader to more fully see the power of God’s love through the actions of Jesus.
