Jesus is the STUMBLING STONE. Faith in the Christ crucified is to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles, foolishness. In Him we are called, not to religious forms and works, but to love on another. Jesus says...Look to Me. I give you the faith to keep from stumbling. I give to you the love and forgiveness you need for your brothers and sisters and for a lost, lonely world. My love is yours...
Romans 9:30-33
"What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone." As it is written:
"See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
