I don't think that it specifies the two words "human dignity". I believe that the question is referring to the idea of human dignity and how Luke expresses or defines that idea. | ||||||

Hello cougarette! I believe that the best logical way to begin to answer your question would be to define what "human dignity" means.. Dignity is defined by Webster's New World College Dictionary as "worthy of esteem or honor, worthiness; the degree of worth, repute or honor" So taking that definition and applying it to the Gospel of Luke, I am assuming that you are studying where Jesus considered certain people as worthy of being esteemed or gave "special honor" to people. If we look at the Gospel of Luke, specifically at Luke 10:25-37, we see that Jesus used as an example the lowest person of "human dignity" that He could have possibly picked, and that was the traveling Samaritan. And what did Jesus do? He used a Samaritan as an example for an object lesson for the 'expert in the law' (v. 25). So in this way, Jesus esteemed the Samaritan as "worthy" of honor, since the Samaritan was a 'neighbor' to the man who had been beaten. My conclusion is that the book of Luke expresses "human dignity" in this way: That whosoever does the will of God, without thought of their position in society, is worthy of being esteemed, since the person is in fact honoring God by doing His will! I hope that this helps! Nolan |
