If man is offended because of Jesus, it is because the man has not come to the realization of how essential Jesus is to life. The offended man views Jesus as being in the way instead of being 'the way.' It is through trying the Word of God that man comes to know how good the Lord is (Psalms 34:8). How can man be offended by goodness? How can man be offended by Jesus?
True life begins when man lets go of his own plans to follow Jesus without offense. "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in [Jesus]" (Matthew 11:6).
