To take offense is becoming angry or upset by something that another person has said or done. We feel injured, humiliated, and threatened when someone expresses something negative about us. For the natural response to any threat is to take offense…with even a casual or offhand remark gnawing at us. Those who find themselves easily offended; will tend to have a false perspective of their security. That’s because our security cannot be rooted in ourselves…it must be in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As Proverbs 19:11 tells us, when we cover an offense, we give grace and empathy to the offender. And when we choose to overlook an offense, we give ourselves a valuable gift – the reminder that our security is not based on others’ opinions of us, but on the security, we have in Christ. (Ephesians 1:5-7)
