Why is it important for Christians to understand the salvation represented by Joseph?

Joseph serves as a type of Christ in Genesis 40, representing the Savior who is both wise and compassionate. His interpretation of the butler’s and baker’s dreams symbolizes the gospel message: restoration for the elect who trust in God's provision and judgment for those who rely on their own works. Recognizing Joseph's role in the redemptive narrative enhances our understanding of how Christ fulfills the law and the prophets, assuring believers of their secure position as children of promise in Him.
