The Promised Land matters to Christians, not because we’re waiting to inherit a strip of land in the Middle East, but because the promise of land always pointed to something greater: the establishment of God’s people dwelling in God’s presence under the rule of God’s King.
Joseph is given a dream of greatness and royalty, but he’s rejected and despised. Each time people try to harm him, he ends up closer to the throne. After his enemies presume him dead, he ascends to power and brings salvation and forgiveness to many. Joseph shows what kind of Saviour to look for and helps to identify Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s plan.
