How do we know Christ is our Sabbath?

Answered in 5 sources

Jesus Christ is referred to as our Sabbath, fulfilling the rest that the Sabbath represents through His completed work of salvation.

The sermon emphasizes that the Sabbath was not merely a day of rest but a foreshadowing of Christ Himself, who is our true rest. In Hebrews 4, it is clarified that entering into God's rest requires faith, as unbelief prevents one from experiencing the rest found in Christ. The law's requirements, including the Sabbath, pointed to Him and His finished work on the cross. When Jesus declared, 'It is finished,' He completed the work of redemption, thus fulfilling the purpose of the Sabbath and establishing Himself as the ultimate source of rest for believers. Hence, each believer keeps the Sabbath by faith in Christ every day.
