Jesus and Joseph
The story of Joseph in Genesis has striking similarities and portrayals to Jesus Christ. Joseph is the only man in the Bible (besides Jesus) who is never said to have sinned. Of course, we all sin and fall short of His glory (Rom 3:32), but the Scriptures are silent about Joseph’s sin. We know he did, but the reason that it is never mentioned is perhaps God is showing us an example or forerunner of the coming sinless Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, Who was without sin. Joseph’s life is a portrayal of the coming sinless Messiah, Jesus Christ. This may explain why over 1/4th of the Book of Genesis focuses on Joseph. He takes up more space than Adam, Noah and Abraham combined. Why? Again, it may be a way of God teaching us what the Son of God is like and the reason He came into the world (Mark 10:45).
