Joseph and Jesus

I read part of the Joseph story to Grace lately, and was struck at the number of Christ connections. He (both Joseph and Jesus) is mistreated by his brothers, which, along with his own faithfulness in resisting temptation, lands him in prison/Hell. While there, he preaches to those in prison (1 Peter 3:19). Some of them are released and ascend to life again. Others despair and die. When Joseph is released he ascends all the way to the right hand of the throne, where all authority in Egypt is given to him.

  1. I truly love typology! It reinforces for me the divine aspect of Holy Scripture. Nice insight.
