How does Joseph's suffering relate to Christ's suffering?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's suffering reflects Christ’s own sufferings, highlighting the prophetic nature of his life as a foreshadowing of Jesus.

The suffering of Joseph serves as a profound parallel to the sufferings of Christ, illustrating how God uses trials to fulfill His redemptive purposes. Just as Joseph endured betrayal and adversity from his brothers, so did Jesus face rejection and suffering from His own people. This prophetic connection emphasizes that Joseph's trials were not merely historical events but also foretell the greater suffering that Jesus would undertake for the sake of humanity. Both figures experience deep injustices, but their stories culminate in God’s glory and the ultimate fulfillment of His promises through their exaltation, reminding believers of the assurance of hope that follows suffering.
