In his introduction to Revelation, John focuses on the central person of the book.

Jesus is the divine person visible to us.

He is the origin and source of all things and will bring everything to completion.

Jesus’ characteristic is that he loves us. “Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood” (Revelation 1:5).

He is the high priestly king for his churches and leads us back to our destiny. As priests (Revelation 1:6) and representatives of God, we be present to serve and encourage one another.
