Luke 24:18–27 ESV

18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. 22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.” 25 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

Are you familiar with foreshadowing in literature? Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story, or a chapter, and helps the reader develop expectations about the coming events in a story.

Take for instance, one of the books that I read recently is Jack Reacher: Trip Wire.... and if you are familiar with the Jack Reacher Books, Reacher is an ex major in the Military and did detective work for the Military Police. And early in the book Jack Reacher is looking for a gun and he is in New York. Well he goes out to get a gun, and He mugs a drug dealer. But this particular drug dealer has a ,38 special on him. And the writer goes into this long story of why a .38 is an unreliable gun. The caliber is just to small to be trusted to put someone down. Now the author went into such detail about the .38 that it caught my attention and I told myself this information is going to be critical later… What was the author doing? He was foreshadowing… Why? Because that was going to be critical information for what happens later in the story.... And sure enough a standoff in the very end of the book, when it seems that Reacher has been defeated, the bad guy is holding Reacher’s long lost love hostage with a .38. He pretends to be so disoriented that he lowers his gun and the villain then takes his gun off of the hostage and attempts to shoot Reacher. He does and that gives Reacher just long enough to reaim and take his final shot… The .38 did not kill him.
