How does God's providence relate to Joseph and Christ?

Joseph's journey from slavery to authority in Egypt exemplifies God's sovereign providence, showing how God uses even the sinful actions of others to achieve His purposes. Genesis 50:20 highlights this when Joseph tells his brothers, 'You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.' This parallels the life of Christ, whose betrayal and crucifixion were also part of God's sovereign plan to redeem His people. Understanding God's providence helps believers trust that all events in their lives are under His control and aligned with His ultimate plan for their salvation.
