==''Synopsis== :'' Joseph was an important figure in the [[Old Testament]]. He was one of twelve sons of [[Jacob]] (also called Israel), who was, in turn, the grandson of [[Abraham]]. His story explains why the Israelites ended up in [[Egypt]], and therefore is essential background to understanding the story of [[Moses]] and the [[exodus]] of the Israelites. ==Contents== {{also}} [[Joseph (EBD)|Easton's Bible Dictionary entry on Joseph]]

The story of Joseph is about saving forgiveness, and it reminds us of Jesus. Joseph was punished even though he was innocent of the crime he was accused of. Jesus was punished even though he was innocent of all crimes. Joseph saved his family from death despite the wrong they had done to him. Christ, through the cross, saves us from death and eternal separation from God, despite the wrong we all have done him.
