Preacher on Friday

I saw this man preaching on the side walk corner. The people regarded him as if he were crazy.

Did they expect only to hear scripture on Sunday? Or did they not want to hear about God?

A small child fell in front of the preacher, the preacher kneeled to help the child an the young mother jerked his hand away. Why?

Because he was preaching on the corner? He was no worse or better dressed than anyone else on that very street.

What is his difference from a man in a suit, inside of a large building preaching on Sunday, and a man dressed as any one of us on the corner preaching on Friday?
