FOCUS ON FAITH: Pastor column by Bruce Peterson of Grace Chapel in Scottsbluff

20 ways in which Joseph is a foreshadow of Christ and why it matters

1. Joseph is favored by the father.

2. Joseph has a prophecy about him that people will bow to him.

3. Joseph was sent by his father to his brothers.

4.  His brothers reject him and talk about killing him.

5.  His brothers present him as dead to their father, so “Israel” thinks he’s dead.
