What does the Bible say about being offended by Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that many are offended by Jesus due to misconceptions about His nature and the requirements for salvation.

In Matthew 11:6, Jesus says, 'Blessed is he whomsoever shall not be offended in me.' This presents a significant question: Why are some individuals offended by Christ? The common modern portrayal of Jesus, which suggests He simply loves everyone indiscriminately and waits passively for individuals to choose Him, contrasts with the biblical depiction of a sovereign Lord who executes His will unimpeded. This misunderstanding of Jesus' true nature leads many to view Him as weak or ineffectual, resulting in offense when confronted with the Scriptures that reveal His Lordship and authority.
