Joseph--A Better Adam and Foreshadow of Christ

The biblical character known by the name of Joseph is not usually found in the same sentence as the resurrection of Christ. Joseph and Easter Sunday seems worlds apart. Even more strange is to find the name of Adam associated with Joseph and with Jesus Christ. But mere appearances can be deceiving. The story of Joseph in Genesis 37-50 is linked integrally with Adam who lost Paradise and with Jesus who regained access Paradise for the sons and daughters of Adam. The Bible was written canonically. When we begin to read the Bible canonically, all the dots—Adam—Joseph—Jesus—begin to connect into a seamless story.
