The Offence of Christ
Matthew 11:6
And blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in me.


I. WITH REGARD TO THOSE THINGS WHICH RENDER THE REDEEMER AN OFFENCE TO THE WORLD.

1. The mysterious constitution of His nature.

2. The humbling tendency of the doctrines.

3. The exclusive character of His religion.

II. THE BLESSEDNESS OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT OFFENDED IN THE SAVIOUR. HOW is it that some embrace the Saviour, and others are offended at Him? The reception of Him is the result of Divine illumination.

III. THE BEST MEANS OF ATTAINING THIS BLESSEDNESS.

1. Earnest Prayer.

2. Seek God in His Word.

3. A holy life.

(E. Thompson, M. A.)
