Jesus as the high priestly king is in the midst of his congregations.

I saw “in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest (Revelation 1:13).

Christ gives us his closeness. We live by the mystery of his immediate presence. This is the hidden strength in all our powerlessness.

The term “Son of Man” (Revelation 1:13) means “as a human being.” It is Jesus’ own designation in the Gospel of John, chapter 1.

He refers to Daniel 7:13-14 “With the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, … to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve (Heb. also worship) him”.
