How do we know that Joseph represents Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph represents Christ in his virtues, suffering, and ultimate rise to power.

The life of Joseph is marked by righteousness and integrity, contrasting sharply with the wickedness of his brothers. This portrayal sets Joseph as a type of Christ, who is sinless and known as the beloved Son of God. Joseph’s journey from humiliation to prominence mirrors Christ’s own path from suffering to glory, revealing God’s overarching plan for redemption. As Joseph was instrumental in saving his family, so Christ saves His people from sin and death, making Joseph's story a powerful prefiguration of the gospel.
