To stumble at Christ in this situation, was to be offended because of Him, and this stumbling led to their temporarily falling away from following their Lord. Let us ask ourselves this question: Is this something that could happen to us, in our walk as Christians? Could we stumble and fall temporarily from our steadfastness of faith in Him. I believe that it would be possible for any one of us. For any one of us, we may fall temporarily from our steadfastness of faith in Christ. But with Christ as our Savior and Lord we will never fall finally or perish. Let us focus our attention on this subject for a few minutes by asking: What are the reasons for a Christian’s stumbling and being offended with their Master? I think that we can easily find 3 of them from our text. 1st of all – We may stumble if we believe that our faithfulness to Christ rests upon the strength of our own determination to follow Him. 2nd – We may stumble if we do not pray at the critical time of our temptations. And then, 3rd – We may stumble if we see that our faith in Christ may lead to persecution.
