Joseph, A Type of Christ It was in the sermon "The Death of Jacob" that I heard Pastor Nibert first mention that Joseph was a type of Christ. I was surprised by this when he mentioned it & I wanted to learn more. In this sermon, Pastor Nibert goes into more detail as he will over the next several sermons on Joseph. I was amazed that I had never noticed the things that he mentioned regarding the comparison between Joseph & Christ.
Several things that he mentions are the comparison of Joseph's coat & what Christ wore through His ministry. The love of his father compared to the love of God for Christ. The lack of sin of Joseph. The suffering & mistreatment Joseph endured. Being sold as a slave for 20 pieces of silver (Christ for 30 pieces). His love for his brethren in spite of mistreatment and hatred. Doing his father's will. He also mentions the rise to power of Joseph & the forgiveness of his brethren.
This is very interesting & goes a long, long way into helping me understand scripture better; which is my constant prayer and the Lord is using Pastor Nibert magnificently in bringing this about.
