Joseph and Christ

Rejection, Exaltation, and Providence

Proposed: examine the parallels often drawn between Joseph and Jesus (rejected by brothers, exalted, forgiving), distinguishing the NT’s own use of Joseph (Acts 7:9-14) from later typological tradition.

Proposed outline

Beloved son and envious brothers (Gen 37)
Sold and handed over (Gen 37:28; Matt 26:15)
Faithfulness in humiliation (Gen 39–40)
Exaltation to the right hand (Gen 41:40-44)
“God meant it for good” (Gen 50:20; Acts 2:23)
Stephen’s reading of Joseph (Acts 7:9-14)
Typology: where tradition goes beyond the text
