How do we know Jesus is our Sabbath?

Jesus is our Sabbath because He embodies the rest that the Old Testament Sabbath represented. The ceremonial Sabbath was instituted by God after creation, symbolizing a cessation from work. However, in Christ, we see the ultimate fulfillment of that symbol—He invites the weary to find rest in Him (Matthew 11:28). The message of Hebrews 4 clarifies this by explaining that entering God's rest comes by faith in Christ, who completed the necessary work for our salvation. Thus, by trusting in His righteousness, we participate in the everlasting rest God intended for His people.
