Jesus Offended Many

“Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” Therefore, to you who believe He is precious, but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word to which they also were appointed. (I Peter 2:6-8)

Today, the meaning of the word believe has been weakened. In the eyes of most, it has become a mere acknowledgment of a certain fact. 

To many, it has nothing to do with obedience.  But in the passage above, the words believe, and disobedient are represented as opposites.  

Tonight we will look at the life of Christ and discover what believing truly means.
