Psalm 84, Chiastic structure (Additional studies: Psalms Book Three (73-89) Index)
Luke 16, The forceful kingdom (Additional studies: Luke Index)
The idea of being “forced” in Luke 16:16 does not necessarily mean coercive force, since we understand the broader message of Scripture to be that God presents His will and His ways, but then each individual is free to accept or reject it (Deu 30:19, Jos 24:15, Rev 3:20). Instead, the compelling nature of the kingdom’s urgent and powerful message confronts people with the need to make a decision. It’s an invitation so profund that it pulls people in. As well, in God sending first John the Baptist, and then Jesus, He brought the kingdom near to mankind, not only making it accessible to everyone, but unavoidable that everyone consider it. Given that the kingdom of God, through their ministry, was dynamically breaking into the world in a new way, it challenged the status quo and demanded a response.
