From being a beloved son and shepherd to being betrayed, falsely accused, and ultimately raised to a position of authority, Joseph's life foreshadows Jesus in stunning detail. You'll learn how Joseph's robe dipped in blood, his imprisonment between two criminals, and his role providing grain to the nations all point to what Jesus would do thousands of years later. The key difference? Joseph reduced Egypt to slavery for bread, but Jesus offers the bread of life freely to everyone.
