Hello Pastor John
I have been reading the All Things book and the story of 17 year old Joseph during his time in Egypt, and I am amazed at how God kept him. It was twenty two years later and God decided Joseph had obeyed Him so well at all the things Joseph had suffered at the hands of his Brothers, Potiphar’s wife falsely accusing him, the butler forgetting Joseph’ plea. No matter what he suffered, He knew God’s hand was responsible for it all, and was never bitter instead he made sure he was going to be the best servant anyone ever saw. This really touched my heart.
I have a question about the story of Joseph. Was his story a shadow of what Jesus would be like when He would come and suffer and show the world He was going to be the best servant anyone had ever seen? Just some thoughts.

Yes, Joseph was a figure of Jesus. The next time man sees Jesus, he will not be an abused and hated prisoner. Instead, he will be reigning next to his Father, just as Joseph reigned next to Pharaoh.
