How does Joseph prefigure Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph’s life is a type of Christ, illustrating themes of betrayal, suffering, and eventual exaltation.

Joseph serves as a significant type of Christ, as both were betrayed by those close to them and condemned despite their innocence. Joseph's trials, including being sold into slavery and falsely accused, parallel the suffering of Jesus. The term 'shepherd' and 'stone of Israel' associated with Joseph also connects directly to the identity of Christ, who is seen as the Good Shepherd and the cornerstone of the Church. Ultimately, just as Joseph was exalted to a place of power, Christ was raised to glory after His suffering.
