How do we know Jesus is the fulfillment of the Sabbath?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the fulfillment of the Sabbath, as He Himself claimed to be Lord of the Sabbath and embodies the true rest we seek.

In the teaching of Jesus, we see that He claims authority over the Sabbath, stating in Mark 2:28, 'The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.' This designation reveals that He is not only authoritative over the observance of Sabbath laws but also embodies what the Sabbath truly signifies—rest from works and salvation found in Him. The rest that the Sabbath points to is realized in Christ, who fulfills the requirements of the law and provides everlasting peace for those who believe in Him. This is echoed in Hebrews 4:10, where it states that those who enter into His rest cease from their own works, just as God did from His.
