Luke's christology is carefully designed. Luke portrays the exalted
Jesus as God's co-equal by the kinds of things he does and says
from heaven. Through the Holy Spirit, the divine name and personal
manifestations, Jesus behaves toward people in Luke-Acts as does
Yahweh in the Old Testament. His power and knowledge are supreme.
Jesus sovereignly reigns over Israel, the church, the powers of
darkness and the world. Luke deepens this portrait by depicting
Jesus as deity who by nature behaves as servant: the earthly Jesus
acted among his people as one who serves; the exalted Jesus
continues serving his people by strengthening and encouraging them
in their witness of him to the world. That the believers in Acts
resemble the way Jesus behaved in the Gospel means that they too
are now imaging some of his servant-like character in their witness
of him.
