"On the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem; and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high priestly descent.  When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, 'By what power, or in what name, have you done this?'  Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, 'Rulers and elders of the people, if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, Whom you crucified, Whom God raised from the dead - by this Name this man stands here before you in good health.  He is the Stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the Chief Cornerstone.  And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

Look around the room.  Here we see quite a diverse crowd:

A poor man, who's most recent job was asking people for money,  A couple of fishermen, turned preachers.  The rulers and scribes and elders, men of high esteem in Jerusalem.  And the highest positions of priestly descent - the most honored men in all the land.

All of these were drawn together by the Holy Spirit.  All have one thing in common, they are about to be changed because of Jesus.

It is interesting that only one person is filled with the Holy Spirit here, Peter.  The others had but to listen to God, but only Peter choose to remain filled with His presence.  That is why we see Peter do all of the speaking.  Christ in him.

Still the miracle remains, all of these socio-economic groups, with one thing in common:  Jesus.

That is what the church looks like today.  Praise the Lamb!
