Joseph, The Sheaf that Stood Above the Rest

The life of Joseph is one of the most compelling stories in the pages of the best-selling Book of all time, The Bible. This writing delves deep into the account of Joseph, breaks it down verse by verse, and ties this exciting account directly to other passages throughout the Scriptures. The account of Joseph is connected to passages in both the Old and New Testaments and most importantly, to the life of Jesus Christ. There are many parallels between the life of Joseph and the life that our Lord and Savior Jesus led. The amazing events in Joseph's life were arranged or set by God to give us a preview of what was to come far in the future through God's Messiah, Jesus Christ. While exploring the life of Joseph we will see in more detail that Joseph was undoubtedly a human foreshadowing of the One who was foretold of in the Old Testament Scriptures, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the long-awaited Messiah of Israel.
