Union with Christ in the Gospel of Luke

This article contends that some aspects of the doctrine of the mystical union of Christ with the believers are found in the gospel of Luke. There is an identification between Jesus and his followers as children of the Most High. Besides that, Jesus applies to them many features of his relationship with the Father. The readers of the gospel are challenged to imitate Jesus’s ministry in the same power of Jesus, i.e., the Holy Spirit. Also, in the Lord’s Supper and in the manger, Jesus Christ is presented as the bread which the disciples must eat in order to have spiritual life.
