How does Luke portray Jesus in his Gospel?
For Luke, Jesus is our Compassionate Savior. Luke's image of Jesus is presented as the compassionate Savior of the world, with love and compassion for all people, whether rich or poor, Jew or Gentile. He reaches out especially to poor, the marginalized, the oppressed, the women and the poor and outcast of society. Luke emphasizes divine mercy, depicting God as the Father who forgives his prodigal children with unbounded love. Meeting Jesus as the compassionate Savior draws us to imitate the Lord by approaching the Father in confident prayer. The story of the widow of Nain teaches us about Jesus' mercy to a grieving mother (Luke 7:11-17). Jesus says that the human person is one who does not depend on only food and other necessities for life but also relies on the Word of God (Luke 4:4). He also states how the human person is to be toward others. The human person is to show mercy to those who love (Him), and those who oppress (Him), everyone (Luke 6:36).

When Jesus invited the rich man to follow him what did the rich young man do?
WENT AWAY SADNew Testament perspective:Knowing the hearts and minds of men, Jesus knew that the rich young man had a hurdle to overcome; he was greedy. Therefore, Jesus did more than just "invite the man to follow Him:" "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!" (Luke 18:22-24 - NKJV)
What kind of person was Jesus in the Gospel of John?
The Gospel of John portrayed Jesus as fully divine and pre-existing, in contrast to the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), wherein he was the Son of God. however, the question asks the portrayal of Jesus as a person and thus as a human.In John's Gospel, many of Jesus' friends were the rich and powerful, and Jesus reserved his best miracles for his rich and powerful friends.Mark has Jesus wish to remain anonymous as far as possible, with Jesus even commanding those he helped to tell no one about him, and Matthew and Luke followed this theme to a lesser extent. However, John's Gospel says that Jesus was quite open about who he was. John moved the episode of the Cleansing of the Temple from the very end of the gospel, where it was the event that forced the priests to decide to get rid of Jesus, to the beginning of the gospel, where it served to ensure that everyone knew of Jesus from the beginning of his mission.Perhaps even more than in the other gospels, the Jesus of John's Gospel was a charismatic preacher.

In the parable, it was important that Lazarus be clearly understood as taken to heaven, to create a contrast to the fate of the rich man.
