Why do some people see Jesus as a stumbling stone?

Answered in 1 source

Some see Jesus as a stumbling stone because they reject Him and seek righteousness by their own efforts instead of through faith in Him.

In Isaiah 8:14, it is noted that while Jesus is a sanctuary for those who believe, He becomes a stumbling stone for others. This dichotomy arises from humanity's natural inclination to seek righteousness through their own actions or systems of belief. Many stumble over the idea of salvation by grace alone, viewing Christ as an obstacle rather than a savior. This reveals a heart of unbelief that is unable to accept God’s way of righteousness through faith in Jesus, thus leading to spiritual failure and distancing from salvation.
