Joseph prefigured Christ in more than three ways. However, here are three of them:
1) Joseph was 30 years old when he began gathering up the food in Egypt, (Genesis 41.46), as Jesus was about 30 yeasrs old when he began his ministry.
2) Under Pharoah, Joseph was ruler of Egypt. As Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God.
3) He saved his family from starvation, as Jesus saved his people from their sins, (Matthew 1.21)

∙ 6y agoNumerous parallels may be noted between the life of Joseph and that of Christ Jesus. Joseph's half brothers were hostile toward him. Similarly, Jesus was rejected by his own, the Jews (John 1:11) The bitter experiences that this mission resulted in for Joseph were comparable to what befell Jesus, particularly when abused and finally put to death on a torture stake. (Matthew 27:27-46) As Joseph's half brothers sold Joseph to the Midianite-Ishmaelite caravan, so the Jews delivered up Jesus to the Roman authority for execution. (John 18:35) Both Joseph and Jesus were refined and prepared for their lifesaving roles through suffering. (Psalm 105:17-19; Hebrew 5:7-10) The elevation of Joseph to the position of food administrator in Egypt and the saving of life resulting therefrom finds a parallel in Jesus' exaltation and his becoming a Savior of both Jews and non-Jews. (John 3:16, 17; Ac 5:31) The scheme of Joseph's brothers to harm him proved to be God's means of saving them from starvation. Likewise, the death of Jesus provided the basis for salvation. (John 6:51; 1Cor. 1:18)

Do the terms Jesus of history and Christ of faith apply to the same person experienced in two different ways?
They are one and same person.------------------------------------------------A little more detail:The term 'Christ' (Greek) and the term 'Messiah' (Hebrew) mean the same thing..."Anointed One". That is, one 'set apart' for special service, or a special purpose.The Bible teaches that Jesus (who was the son of God in Heaven), came to earth, and was raised as a human by Joseph and Mary, to prepare him for a 'special service'. To die, as a perfect sacrifice, for the sins of mankind.When he reached the time in his life when he was ready to take on this assignment, and was baptized, he became the 'Christ' or 'Messiah'.So, 'Jesus Christ' means, 'Jesus, the anointed one".
