JESUS, STUMBLING STONE – Why are people still stumbling over this Stone? It’s because faith in Jesus is foiled. It is faith in this Stone, which ensures that whoever believes will never be put to shame. Faith is in our own good deeds and not in the Stone. As long as the Stone is rejected, we will know the shame of being crushed to pieces. However, when we fall on the Stone, we are broken and come to deep, sorrowful repentance. Such a broken and contrite heart is never despised by the Rock.
Jesus, do I trust You and know Your abiding peace? Your Word is free to all, yet Your Word is a Stumbling Stone, because we continue to seek You according to law and human works. Unless I am broken, I will never know change. Break me Lord. Amen!
Read 1 Peter 2: 6 - 8
