John
21:25 – Jesus did many other things
as well. If every one of them were written
down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books
that would be written.
Luke
14:25-26 – Large
crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: “If anyone comes to me and does not hate
father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own
life—such a person cannot be my disciple.
Application:
- · “Even the whole world would not have room” was hyperbole. Our historical knowledge of Jesus is at best partial, but we have been given all we need to know.
- · “Hate father and mother” was a vivid hyperbole, meaning that one must love Jesus even more than one’s immediate family.
