Joseph as a type of Christ

By an Old Testament type we mean a person or thing which, by appointment of God, prefigured an aspect, or aspects, of Christ or of His church; a type was "a shadow of good things to come". The word "type" is not found in the Authorised version of the Bible, but in the Greek it is given in several passages as tupos. The term tupos is translated as, for example, "figure" (Rom. 5:14), "example" (1 Cor. 10:11), and "pattern" (Heb. 8:5). The Free Presbyterian Magazine

Both were unjustly sold (Chilton) see Gen 37:28 and Mat 26:15.

Both suffered; Joseph in prison and Jesus on the cross.

Both were later crowned with glory and honour (Gen 41:39-45, Heb 2:9).

Both delivered men from death
