Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Peter 2:8

"and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed." — 1 Peter 2:8 (ASV)

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

These are terrible words, but they are true. I cannot fully explain them. As Archbishop Leighton says, "It is easier to get into a depth over this awful truth than it is to get out again." O God, grant that none of us may stumble at Christ! If we do, Christ will not move because we kick at him, or fall over him.
