Have you used the word “hyperbole” in conversation lately? Probably not, but Jesus often used what the word means in His parables. Hyperbole is the intentional and obvious use of exaggeration in conversation or story. You’ve used hyperbole even if you’re not sure what the word means. Have you ever said, “I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse!” Or have you said, “That sermon lasted forever!” I think you know what I mean. Jesus used hyperbole when talking about prayer. We talk about it all this week!
