How do we know the story of Joseph mirrors the life of Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's suffering and ultimate rise to power foreshadow Jesus' humiliation and exaltation.

The life of Joseph is rich with parallels to Jesus Christ. Just as Joseph was rejected and betrayed by his brothers, Jesus was despised and rejected by His own people. Both figures experienced humiliation—a pit for Joseph and a cross for Jesus—but both were eventually exalted, with Joseph becoming second-in-command in Egypt and Jesus ascending to the right hand of the Father. This typological relationship emphasizes the overarching narrative of redemption woven throughout the Scriptures, showcasing how God uses suffering as part of His sovereign plan to achieve salvation for His people.
