Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me." — Matthew 11:6 (ASV)
That man is blessed who believes so strongly that his faith cannot be stumbled. A hint for John. John had not fallen, but very possibly he had stumbled. He had been a little challenged, through a sense of a lack of deliverance in time of need, and therefore he had asked the question. Blessed is he who can be left in prison, can be silenced in his testimony, can seem to be deserted by his Lord, and yet can shut out every doubt. John speedily regained this blessedness and fully recovered his serenity.
Lord, grant me to be firmly settled in my convictions, that I may enjoy the blessedness which flows from unstaggering faith. May nothing about You ever cause me to stumble at You!
