As Christ forgave you, so also do ye - Col 3:13

The way Joseph forgave his brothers (Genesis 45) gives a beautiful picture of Christ's forgiveness.

Consideration for his brothers (Gen 45:1)
Not wanting his brothers fault to be know by all, he asks all the Egyptians to go out. In Luke 22:61, Christ only gave Peter a private look instead of proclaiming his failure out loud.

Concern for his brothers (Gen 45:5)
Not wanting his brothers to be overcome with grief, he consoles them. Christ was always concerned about the way His disciples were feeling and gave consolation (Luke 5:10 - Fear not; John 14:1 - Let not your hearts be troubled; John 20:19 - Peace be unto you).

Closeness to his brothers (Gen 45:10)
Not wanting his brothers to be far from him, he placed them in Goshen which is near to him. In John 14:3, Christ gave the assurance that where He is, there his disciples will be also.

Care for his brothers (Gen 45:11)
Not wanting his brothers to come to poverty, he said he will nourish them. 1 Peter 5:7 says that Christ cares for us.

Compassion for his brothers (Gen 45:15)
Not wanting any of his brothers to feel left out, he kissed all his brothers without partiality. Christ washed all his disciples feet without partiality (John 13).

Communion with his brother (Gen 45:15)
Not wanting there to be silence, he restores communication by listening and speaking kindly to his brothers (Gen 50:21). Christ restored communion with Thomas and Peter and spoke kindly to them as he did (John 20:26-29, 21:15-17).

Comfort for his brothers (Gen 50:21)
Not wanting them to doubt his forgiveness, he assures them and comforts them. Christ continued assurance found in 1 John 1:9 rings through the years.
