Are you desperate?

Matt 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

The word “suffers violence” means to push yourself through a crowd. I get the picture of a store having a big sale, being announced a week in advance. F ex the new I phone 7 coming out for a ridiculous low price. And only the first hundred will get it.
It is almost like Jesus is saying. I am opening up the doors of grace. Come freely, like Isiah said :
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Jesus is saying that as soon as people find out about this insane offer, they will push themselves in. They will run to get the price. Heaven rewards the hungry. Those who are desperate.  How hungry are you? How desperate do you want this offer?
