What does it mean that Joseph was favored by his father?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's favoritism symbolizes Christ's unique position as God's beloved Son.

Joseph's favoritism by Jacob, marked by the beautiful coat of many colors, illustrates the unique love of the Father for the Son. In a similar way, God the Father declares His love for Christ, whose worthiness to be cherished exceeds that of all others. This dynamic speaks to the reality of Christ’s divinity and unique role as the beloved Son, who embodies righteousness and stands apart from all others. The significance of this favoritism not only highlights Joseph's individual story but emphasizes God's salvific plan through Jesus, who is the true beloved Son.
