Abstract

«Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God». It is with this sentence that the Gospel of Mark summarizes the Good News of the Master from Galilee. One of the ways to assume the kingdom of Jesus is to become his disciple, following his way of life. In this sense, the kingdom of God appears as an attractive road taken by men and women eager to lead a life like the one lead by Jesus. To those who take the option to be his disciples Jesus offers them the kingdom without concealing them the implications of their choice.
