In the Scriptures, offense can be understood as a stumbling block or a cause for sin, leading individuals away from righteousness and harmony with God and others. Biblical Understanding of Offense The Greek word "skandalon," often translated as "offense" or "stumbling block," appears frequently in the New Testament. It denotes anything that causes someone to fall into sin or error. Jesus Himself warns of the inevitability of offenses, stating, "Woe to the world for the offenses! For it is necessary that offenses come, but woe to the man by whom the offense comes!" (<a href="/matthew/18-7.htm">Matthew 18:7</a>). This highlights the dual nature of offense: its inevitability in a fallen world and the severe consequences for those who cause it. Offense in Relationships Offense can disrupt relationships, both within the body of Christ and with those outside the faith. <a href="/proverbs/18-19.htm">Proverbs 18:19</a> notes, "An offended brother is harder to win than a fortified city, and disputes are like the bars of a castle." This proverb underscores the difficulty of reconciling with someone who has been offended, emphasizing the need for careful speech and actions to prevent unnecessary strife. The New Testament further instructs believers to avoid causing offense to others. In <a href="/romans/14-13.htm">Romans 14:13</a> , Paul advises, "Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way." This call to sensitivity and love within the Christian community is essential for maintaining unity and peace. Offense and Spiritual Growth While offense can lead to division, it also presents opportunities for spiritual growth and maturity. <a href="/james/1-2.htm">James 1:2-4</a> encourages believers to "consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." Offenses, as trials, can refine faith and character, drawing believers closer to God as they learn to forgive and seek reconciliation. Jesus and Offense Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of the Christian faith, was Himself a source of offense to many. In <a href="/1_peter/2-7.htm">1 Peter 2:7-8</a> , it is written, "To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, 'The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,' and, 'A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.'" Jesus' teachings and His very identity challenged the religious and cultural norms of His time, causing many to stumble. Yet, for those who believe, He is the foundation of salvation and hope. Handling Offense The Bible provides guidance on how to handle offense, emphasizing forgiveness and reconciliation. In <a href="/matthew/18-15.htm">Matthew 18:15</a> , Jesus instructs, "If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over." This approach encourages direct and loving confrontation, aiming for restoration rather than retaliation. Furthermore, <a href="/ephesians/4-31.htm">Ephesians 4:31-32</a> advises believers to "get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you." This passage highlights the transformative power of forgiveness, reflecting the grace that believers have received through Christ. Conclusion The power of offense is a profound theme in the Bible, illustrating the potential for both harm and growth within the Christian life. By understanding and applying biblical principles related to offense, believers can navigate conflicts with grace, fostering unity and spiritual maturity in their communities.</div></div><div
