How do we know Jesus Christ is a type of Joseph?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ is a type of Joseph, as both are beloved sons who experience suffering for the sake of a greater purpose.

Joseph's life is filled with parallels to that of Christ. Just as Joseph was favored by his father Jacob and wore a coat of many colors, Christ is the beloved Son of God. Both experienced rejection and suffering yet were ultimately exalted. Joseph’s role in saving his family during a time of famine mirrors Christ’s role as our Savior, who nourishes our souls and provides eternal life. Joseph's journey from slavery to a position of authority in Egypt reflects how Christ was humiliated in His suffering but glorified in His resurrection, thus fulfilling God's redemptive plan.
