How do we know Christ is our Sabbath?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ is our Sabbath because He fulfills the rest symbolized by the Sabbath, providing ultimate peace and salvation.

The concept of Christ as our Sabbath is deeply rooted in the New Testament, particularly in Colossians 2:16-17, where Paul states that the Sabbath days are shadows of the things to come, and that the body is of Christ. This means that the observance of the Sabbath under the Old Covenant was a foreshadowing of the rest we find in Christ. Hebrews 10:1 further emphasizes that the law was but a shadow pointing to the true fulfillment found in Jesus. Thus, believers do not find their rest in a day, but in the person of Christ who has accomplished our salvation, allowing us to have true peace and rest in Him.
