Acts 4:5–12 shows Peter standing before powerful leaders and pointing away from himself toward Jesus Christ. The man who had been unable to walk was healed through the name of Jesus, and Peter makes clear that the power did not come from him. The same Peter who once denied Jesus now speaks with courage because the Holy Spirit has changed him.

Peter calls Jesus the rejected stone who became the cornerstone. That image reminds the Church that everything must be built around Christ. Traditions, programs, personalities, politics, buildings, and even our desire to be right can slowly move toward the center, but none of them can carry the weight of the Church. Jesus alone is the cornerstone.

World Communion Sunday gives us a visible picture of that truth. Christians across the world gather in different places, cultures, languages, and traditions, yet all who belong to Christ gather around one Savior. Unity does not require sameness. The Church can be diverse and still be one body because Christ is at the center.

Peter’s declaration that salvation is found in no one else should produce humility rather than pride. Christians do not save themselves. We receive grace. The table reminds us that we come because Christ invites us, and the grace we receive should become visible in the way we forgive, serve, welcome, and love others. We gather around one Savior, one grace, and one hope for the whole world.
