How is Joseph a type of Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

Joseph serves as a type of Christ by demonstrating forgiveness, grace, and God's redemptive purposes through suffering.

The life of Joseph parallels the life of Christ in numerous ways. Just as Joseph was betrayed and suffered unjustly, so too did Christ face betrayal and the agony of the cross. Joseph's journey from the pit to power in Egypt mirrors Christ's progression from sufferer to Savior. Moreover, Joseph's proclamation 'I am Joseph' (Genesis 45:3) leads to reconciliation with his brothers, just as Christ's revelation brings reconciliation with God. Joseph’s role as a provider of sustenance during famine further highlights Christ as the Bread of Life, who offers spiritual nourishment to those in need.
