Matthew 11:6
Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.

Jesus knew that the focus of His ministry was offensive to the expectation of the Jewish people, who longed for political deliverance from Roman domination. But there was a blessing for those who were not offended because of the Messiah who came against the expectation of the people.

The other things which could have possibly offended during Jesus time are Christ’s birth, at the poverty of his parents, at the manner of his birth, by a virgin and at the place of his birth, which they thought to be Galilee, may be at his mean appearance and so on.

Application

When somebody brings God’s word to us, what are the areas that offends us looking at the person? Pray through it.
