Overcoming Doubt in Jesus
Jesus pronounces a blessing on those who do not 'stumble' over Him. Commentators explain this stumbling as doubting, denying, or rejecting Jesus because He didn't meet popular expectations for a Messiah. As John Gill notes, this was a direct message to those who were perplexed by Jesus' methods and popularity. The blessing is for those who accept Jesus on His own terms, based on the evidence He provides.
