Summary
Joseph was one of the 12 sons of Jacob and was Jacob’s favorite. In jealousy, Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt. However, God used their evil for His good. Joseph would eventually earn the pharaoh’s favor and become second in command over Egypt. This position would eventually be used to serve as Israel’s salvation in the midst of a drought. Similarly, Jesus was also arrested by jealous men, falsely accused, and crucified, but now sits at the right hand of God as Savior and Ruler.
