CHRIST JESUS, THE STUMBLING STONE

 

The Gentiles, who did not pursue Righteousness,

Have obtained it,

A Righteousness that is by Faith;

But the people of Israel,

Who pursued the Law as the way of Righteousness,

Have not attained their goal.

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 people to Stumbled

And a Rock that makes them Fall,

And the one who believes in Him

Will never be put to shame.” (Isaiah 8:14; 28:16)

(Romans 9:30-33)

The Stumbling Stone is Christ Jesus.
