How does the story of Joseph illustrate the Gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's experience reflects Christ's sinlessness and His role as our Substitute.

The story of Joseph serves as a profound illustration of the Gospel, particularly in how it foreshadows Christ's sinlessness and substitutionary atonement. Joseph's unwavering faithfulness, even when falsely accused, mirrors Christ's own innocence and His suffering for the sins of others. In Genesis 39:22-23, it is stated that 'whatsoever they did, Joseph was the doer of it,' pointing to the ultimate truth that Christ, though innocent, bore our sins and was made guilty in our place. This narrative emphasizes that through Joseph's trials and eventual exaltation, we can see the redemptive plan God has through Jesus, who is the true Doer of salvation.
