How do we know Jesus fulfills the law of the Sabbath?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the Sabbath by being our rest; He completes the work of salvation, allowing believers to cease from their striving.

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invites weary souls to find rest in Him, indicating that He is the true fulfillment of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was a shadow pointing to Christ, symbolizing the cessation of work and the rest found in salvation. Just as God rested after His creation, believers find complete rest in Jesus, recognizing that all the requirements of the law have been satisfied in Him. This understanding shifts the focus from a legalistic observance to a relationship built on grace and faith.
