How do we know the type of Joseph as Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's life and mission parallel Christ's in his rejection and the mission to seek the lost.

The typology of Joseph as a foreshadowing of Christ is woven throughout the narrative of Genesis. Joseph is sent by his father to inquire after his brothers, illustrating the mission of Jesus, who came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). The similarities in their experiences—rejection by their own, suffering, and eventual elevation—show how Joseph's life serves as an archetype for Christ's mission to redeem humanity. This connection reveals a profound continuity in God's redemptive plan, affirming how ancient narratives find fulfillment in the New Testament.
