Jesus Christ - The Rock Of Offence. by ToteJesus: 12:33pm On Apr 07
‭‭Romans 9:33 NKJV‬‬
As it is written: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

There's a way God has designed the worship experience that guarantees your offense, if you are not fully submitted in mind and in truth.

This much is revealed in Abraham's test in Genesis 22.
The trial of Abraham was a trial of offense. If Abraham wasn't truly submitted to God, he would have left that place of instruction and despised God for what he was asked to do.

Failure begins with Offense. The city of Gadarenes failed the test of offence as they evicted Jesus immediately his deliverance of the demoniac impacted their economy. Mathew 8:28 - 34

John the baptist stumbled upon that same rock of offense. To Him, Jesus didn't meet his expectation of who Israel's savior should look like. Mathew 11:6.

Blessed is he who accepts that God’s plan and His will for us sometimes don’t meet our human expectations, even in painful and humiliating trials.
