Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

Out of its 16 chapters Jesus clearly predicts his coming death three times as well as several other subtle references that the author of Mark carefully includes. As early in the text as Mark 2 Jesus alludes to his death, saying that “‘the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast’” (Mark 2:20).
