A New Kind of Temple

Peter and John are arrested and thrown into prison to healing a lame man who was begging at the temple. Though the man was begging at the very place where he should have received help, it does not come from the institution but from God’s people. Peter and John gives a clear reason why the man was healed. They are filled with the Holy Spirit and claim that the Jesus the people had just rejected and killed is now the very cornerstone of a new temple. The new temple is not built with brick and mortar. The new temple is built in the hearts of people.
