And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. “1 Peter 2:8′

“1 Peter 2:8′ sheds light on the contrasting experiences of those who believe in Jesus and those who reject Him. The verse emphasizes that those who reject Him stumble and fall, as they choose not to accept the cornerstone that God has laid. This passage encourages us to reflect on the importance of embracing Jesus as our foundation and the consequences of not doing so.

In response to this understanding, we must commit to sharing the message of salvation with others. We have the responsibility to help others see the importance of accepting Jesus as the cornerstone of their lives. This may involve sharing our own experiences, offering encouragement, or providing support to those who are seeking truth.

As we continue our journey in faith, let us appreciate the firm foundation we have in Jesus and strive to help others find that same security. May we be inspired to share the love and hope we’ve found in Christ with those around us, so they too can experience the powerful transformation of God’s grace and avoid stumbling in their spiritual lives.

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father, I pray that I may never stumble over the stone of offense. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You, and to trust in Your plan for my life, even when it is difficult to understand. May I never be swayed by the opinions or beliefs of this world, but may I stand firm in my faith in You. Thank You for the sacrifice of Your beloved begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who paid the price for my sins and made it possible for me to have a relationship with You. I pray this throughout the mighty glorious, fulfilling name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our almighty wonderful, infinite loving, glorious, fulfilling dear Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe, and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and His truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
