In comparison to the other Gospels, Luke has a theme so central to its message that it permeates the book from beginning to end.  The message is that Jesus has come to bring good news to the poor, the marginalized, and the outcast. It also has some clear warnings for those who are rich and hold power and influence over others. For those of us on the privileged side of life, Luke can be a hard Gospel to read, but if we listen and learn then we too might find ourselves celebrating its Good News.
