Bible Question:
On word4life.com, I read that the cup bearer and baker in Genesis fourty are pictures of Christ.Jesus said He was the bread of life (John 6:35). He said He was the vine branch (John 15:1). On the night of his betrayal, he gave them wine, telling them it represented his blood that was going to be shed for you (Luke 22:20) and the bread that was going to be broken (I Corinthians 11:24). He asked them to do this in remembrance of Him. As we saw that in three days the wine taster would be given life and the baker would have his life taken. We see that picture of how Jesus would die and on the third day He would rise again. Is the above typeology accurate? Chusarcik |
Bible Answer: Hi Chusarcik, Since the Bible does not declare this to be a type, we cannot say with absolute Biblical authority. It is certainly interesting that these elements of Jesus' ministry appear as such in Joseph's life. There is much in Joseph's life that aligns with Jesus. In this particular instance, strictly my opinion, this is not a type. The baker and cupbearer had failed to please their master. One lived, and one died. Again, strictly my opinion, I look for a greater alignment of details before I would call something a type. I'm certain others will have other opinions. Love in Christ, Mark |
