How do we know Christ is our true Sabbath rest?

Christ represents the ultimate fulfillment of the Sabbath. He is both the rest that the Sabbath points to and the means by which we receive this rest. In Hebrews, the author expands on the concept of rest, indicating that Jesus provides a greater rest than that of the physical Sabbath. When Jesus calls the weary to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28-30), He invites us into a relationship where the burden of sin is lifted and peace is granted through His finished work on the cross. Therefore, Christ embodies our spiritual and eternal Sabbath whereby true freedom and rest from the guilt of sin are found.
