What does the Bible say about Joseph being alive?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's life symbolizes God's providence and redemption, as he was thought to be dead yet was alive to save his family during famine.

The narrative of Joseph illustrates the amazing sovereignty of God in orchestrating events for the ultimate good of His people. In Genesis 45:26-28, Joseph reveals to his brothers that he is alive and in a position of power in Egypt, which symbolizes the hope and reassurance of God's promise. Just as Joseph was sent ahead to preserve life, Christ was sent to save His people from their sins, highlighting the ultimate redemptive plan of the Lord. Joseph's position serves as a historical type of Christ, where his life and eventual reconciliation with his family mirror the grace of salvation offered through Jesus.
