Another scripture says. Isaiah 8:14. Christ is of great value to those who believe. But to the one who rejects Christ, he is a stone they stumble over and fall and are broken to pieces. Compare Matthew 10:34-39; Matthew 21:44 and notes. They stumbled. Those who reject Christ. See Mark 4:17. Such was God's will for them. God did not decree that they would reject Christ, but he did decree that those who did reject him, would stumble and fall to their punishment.
