What does the Bible say about Christ as a stumbling stone?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is described as both a stumbling stone and a foundation, indicating that to some, He is an offense, while to others, He is their refuge.

In Romans 9:33, Paul states that Christ is both a stumbling stone for those who seek salvation through the works of the law and a foundation for those who attain righteousness by faith. Those who rely on their works inevitably stumble because they cannot achieve the perfection required by the law. Conversely, for believers, Christ serves as a firm foundation upon which their faith and salvation are built, providing refuge and assurance.
Scripture References: Romans 9:33, Isaiah 8:14, Isaiah 28:16
