II. CORINTHIANS 2:16

Christ is one of two things to all. He is either the Stone on which we are broken in penitence and to salvation, or He is the Stone to grind in pieces unto punishment and condemnation (Luke 20:18). This is brought out in the following sevenfold contrasts:

  1. The pillar of cloud was light to Israel, and darkness to the Egyptians (Ex. 14:20).
  2. The ways of the Lord are to walk in for our blessing, or ways to stumble in to our hurt (Hosea 14:9).
  3. God is a consuming fire to purify His people (Mal. 3:3), and a burning fire to scorch His enemies (Mal. 4:1).
  4. Christ is life to those who receive Him (John 3:36), while He is wrath to those who reject Him (Rev. 6:16).
  5. Christ is the Chief Corner-stone to those who rest on Him in faith for salvation (1 Peter 2:6), while He is a Stone of Stumbling to those who will not have Him (1 Peter 2:8).
  6. Christ is precious to those who believe (1 Peter 2:7), while He is despised by those who neglect Him (Isaiah 53:3).
  7. When Christ comes He brings eternal rest for His people, but He gives eternal destruction to those who have not obeyed the Gospel (2 Thess. 1:6-7).
