Joseph
Generation 4 from Adam
Biography
The favored son of Jacob, Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers but rose to become second-in-command in Egypt through God's providence. His interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams saved Egypt and his own family from famine. Joseph's forgiveness of his brothers demonstrates remarkable grace and faith in God's sovereign plan.
Joseph's life prefigures Christ in his suffering, exaltation, and role as savior of his people.
