1 Peter 2:7-8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

1 Peter 2:7-8. But unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 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.

When Peter wrote these verses, he must have thought of his own name. He was called a stone or a rock; and once he was to his Master "a rock of offence" when he stumbled at Christ’s word, and began even to rebuke his Lord, but he was forgiven and saved, so now he gives a warning to others lest they should still more grievously sin by making Christ himself to be to them "a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence."
