Joseph - A Type of Christ

At this hour, I want you to see that all of Joseph's life and story are given to us as a type of what our Lord Jesus Christ would be, and what He would become, in His mission, His kingdom and His glory. There are many things, given to us here in our text, which relate to Joseph's exaltation to power, and they are pertinent to how we should view Jesus Christ, now that He is exalted to the right hand of the Father. Joseph was exalted by Pharaoh and Pharoah exalted him as a person who was to respected, followed and obeyed. This is how God would have us to view our Lord Jesus Christ in the way of worship. And so, the question which I set before you this morning is – How should you and I view the Lord Jesus Christ in light of this story of the exaltation of Joseph?
