A couple of weekends ago the boys and I went with a few others into the City to do some street evangelizing/preaching on the corner of a busy street. It is quite interesting to see how the people responded. Some rejected the tracts completely, some took them and then threw them away but only a few wanted to actually talk about the Gospel. To see how many tracts got into the hands of people simply because a child gave it to them over an adult was astonishing. The boys loved it! They were even putting them on cars in parking lots at the stores we went to later.
When someone started preaching on the corner, the people would avoid us completely by crossing the street before they even got to us, some were agitated, looking for the light to change so that could walk across the road, and some would stop to talk. The amount of tracts that were handed out went down during the preaching. Daniel told me that some would ask, is this piece of paper talking about the same thing that guy is talking about? When Daniel would answer "Yes", the people would reject it and walk on.
They have no idea what they are rejecting. They walk on as if everything is just fine, all the while, their eternal security hangs in the balance. The wrath of God is upon them and they stand rejected by Him for their disobedience to His law. They reject the very One who can bring security - Jesus Christ. He can reunite them with their creator, God and give them life -eternal life with Him in Heaven. He is the ONLY One who has the answer to our disobedience to God's law, which is Christ and His redemption.
