“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
'Go, stand in the temple courts,' he said, 'and tell the people all about this new life' - the angel's command is remarkably specific: stand in the temple itself, the heart of institutional opposition, and proclaim 'this new life' (pantes tas logous tēs zōēs tautēs). The 'new life' (zōē) is not merely regeneration but resurrection life, the inaugurated eschatological reality. The apostles are commanded not to hide but to occupy the center of power.
