Observations from readings

I'm reading Luke in large chunks at a time often reading Luke and acts right after each other these are some of my observations

1. It was a wild ride 

2. Jesus wanted a secret identity

3. Jesus responded to motives more than words 

4. Much of what looks like universal truths are to the specific person
