1. humility and service: Luke highlights the importance of humility and service through the teachings of Jesus. He emphasizes selfless service to others, encouraging his followers not to seek personal exaltation, but to be willing to serve others in their work.
2. Be faithful in little: Jesus teaches that those who are faithful in little will be entrusted with more responsibilities. This teaching invites us to be diligent and responsible in our daily labors, regardless of how small or insignificant they may seem.
3. Be generous and compassionate: Luke shows Jesus' compassionate heart toward those in need and emphasizes the importance of generosity and compassion in our work. This includes helping the less fortunate, giving selflessly and showing compassion to those who are suffering.
