Answered in 1 source

Joseph's relationship with his brothers reflects themes of reconciliation and grace as he forgives them for their past wrongs.

In Genesis 45, we see Joseph's reconciliation with his brothers after years of separation. He embraces them, weeps, and expresses no ill will, showcasing the grace and mercy that mirrors Christ's forgiveness toward us. Joseph's actions emphasize the truth that God uses past wrongdoings for His redemptive purposes, reminding us of the broader biblical principle of reconciliation in Christ. This narrative illustrates how genuine love and forgiveness can restore broken relationships, akin to how believers are reconciled to God through Christ's sacrifice.
