"What must I do to be saved?" was the most pressing religious question of Luke's day. People believed they were in the grip of fate. All were looking for a savior, whether through traditional animistic worship, the mystery religions or the imperial cult.

Today life's basic question is "What must I do to put it all together? How can I gain control of my life and cope with seemingly uncontrollable forces around and within me?" The questions may be different, but the ultimate need is the same. Luke shows God's answer in three lives that were transformed by his power at Philippi, a Roman colony.
