How does God's grace manifest in the story of Joseph?

In the story of Joseph, we see a vivid demonstration of God's grace. Despite the betrayal he experienced at the hands of his brothers, Joseph ultimately forgives them and provides for their every need during a severe famine. This reflects the heart of Christ who forgives us and provides salvation, even when we do not deserve it. In Genesis 45:5, Joseph reveals that God sent him ahead to preserve life, symbolizing Christ’s mission to save us from sin and death. The grace extended to Joseph's brothers, where they received blessing and provision before they fully understood who he was, parallels how God blesses His people in Christ before they even recognize Him. This foreshadows the unmerited favor we receive in our own salvation.
