CHRIST AND THE SPIRIT

Luke's Gospel places an huge emphasis on the Holy Spirit. As the the third century Bible teacher St. Origen puts it:

"Christ is born; the Spirit is his forerunner.

Christ is baptised; the Spirit bears him witness.

Christ is tempted; the Spirit leads him up.

Christ ascends; the Spirit fills his place."

All throughout Luke's Gospel, everything Jesus does, the Spirit is there.
