JESUS IS A ROCK OF OFFENSE

Did you know that JESUS IS OFFENSIVE?

One of the Names of Jesus is: “Rock of Offense.”

No matter how much you love Him, Jesus will always be a “ROCK OF OFFENSE.”

Jesus Offends People! He is Offensive to every soul under heaven.

If you are a representative of Jesus you have to understand this. The more you serve Him the more you will offend people.

You don’t have to be mean on purpose (and you shouldn’t) but the Rock of Offense is going to be offensive simply because His Ways are not our ways, and His Thoughts are not our thoughts.

You can love people, be kind, be nice, serve them, save lives, give tangibly, etc… however the deeper Truths About Jesus [His Status, His Gospel, His Commandments, His Ordinances] and what He demands will always Offend People.

❤❤SOFT HEARTS vs HARD HEARTS 🖤🖤

Some People Respond to the Rock of Offense with SOFT HEARTS.❤❤❤

They end up Believing and Obeying the ROCK OF OFFENSE, and they are not ashamed:

Romans 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Some People Respond to the Rock of Offense with HARD HEARTS.🖤🖤🖤

They stiffen up their necks and trip over the ROCK OF OFFENSE, and they strengthen themselves in their disobedience:

1 Peter 2:8 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.

How Will You Respond to the ROCK OF OFFENSE?

The more I serve Him the more I’m offended. He literally wants to rule everything!

But eventually He will rule everything. Over the years I’ve learned how to change my response to His offensiveness.

I’ve tried to soften my heart and keep choosing obedience to His Commandments.

YOU WILL BE BROKEN!

If you listen to the Rock (Christ) of the Word of God in your heart without getting offended, you will be broken and saved.

If you get offended by the Rock (Christ) the Word of God and rebel against it, it will break you and destroy you.

Matthew 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Romans 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Matthew 7:²¹ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven... ²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

You can say you LOVE Jesus but you don’t even KNOW Jesus if you ignore His Word or His Father’s Word.
