If I were Mark, I would first consider the audience that I would be addressing.

From the beginning of time, God made everyone unique and He formed each person as an individual. Yet humans band together as groups, as nationalities and as countries. Each group of people is different and there are different ways of approaching them in order for the audience to best hear the good news of Jesus.

If I were a Roman national, trying to convince the powerful Romans that a Jewish man was the son of God, I would have to go about it in a different way than if I were approaching the Jews. The Romans would be hesitant to accept a man of a different nationality as ruler over all men on earth. If I approach them, talking about the lessons that Jesus had taught and about His lineage, they would reject it automatically out of prejudice. However, if I spoke more about His actions and the amazing things that Jesus did as a man walking on the earth, they might pay attention. The Romans are men of action and crave power. They cannot deny what is tangible and what is fact. Therefore, I would focus on all of the miracles that Jesus performed. I would tell them how He traveled across the lands healing the sick and saving those who were lost. If you focus on the great deeds that a single man has accomplished, the Romans might pay attention and hold that man in higher esteem.

Then once the Romans were more malleable and open to the idea that Jesus was a great man, I would start approaching them and teaching them about the spoken words and lessons that Jesus taught.

I think the story of Jesus is amazing I learned a lot about him and I feel closer to him each and every day
