Ever been walking down the sidewalk, people all around and then it happens...the big stumble
...maybe even the humiliating fall. You catch yourself, look around to make sure no one saw you. But they did and you walk away mortified, while everyone else is snickering and laughing.
Interesting the Bible talks about stumbling. One of stumbling verses is particularly profound.
Romans 9:33 (see Isaiah 28:16)
as it is written, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
When it comes down to it the bottom line is the person of Jesus Christ. He is the stumbling stone. Either He is God in the flesh(deity) or He is not. As C.S. Lewis said, He.is either liar, lunatic or Lord. Fill a room full of various world religions and the greatest argument will always arise on the topic of Jesus.
So Jesus has either made you stumble and your still lying there in disbelief...or you have received Him for who He is and the only thing you have to worry about stumbling over is that crazy sidewalk.
