What does it mean that Christ dwells among His people?

Answered in 1 source

Christ dwelling among His people signifies His continual presence and relates to the spiritual comfort believers receive through the Holy Spirit.

The concept of Christ dwelling among His people is multifaceted, encompassing both His physical incarnation and spiritual presence through the Holy Spirit. As John 1:14 reveals, Christ was made flesh and literally dwelt among humanity, sharing in our experiences. However, even after His ascension, His promise to send the Holy Spirit means He continues to dwell among believers. This spiritual indwelling assures Christians of His continual companionship and support, fulfilling the promise of never leaving them comfortless. In Revelation, the depiction of Christ among the churches highlights His active role in guiding and nurturing His people, making His presence a source of hope and strength.
