What does the Bible say about being offended in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being offended in Christ means stumbling over His person, doctrine, or actions, whereas those who are not offended are considered blessed.

The term 'offended' in the Scriptures refers to being scandalized or indignant towards Christ. In Luke 7:23, Jesus states, 'Blessed is he who is not offended in me.' This indicates that those who do not stumble over Christ's claims and teachings, or who are not displeased with His person, find true blessing. Conversely, those who disregard Him or find Him a stumbling block are cursed. The blessed man is not indignant at the truths that Christ proclaimed and is accepting of His sovereignty, teachings, and divine nature, acknowledging that He embodies all that God has to offer.
