How do we know that Christ fulfilled the Sabbath?

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfilled the Sabbath by completing the work of salvation, inaugurating a spiritual Sabbath for believers.

In Matthew 28:1, we see that the end of the Sabbath marked the beginning of the new covenant rest in Christ. His resurrection signifies that the old covenant's legalistic Sabbath has ceased, and now, believers find rest in Him. Colossians 2:16-17 further emphasizes that the Old Testament ordinances, including the Sabbath, were a shadow of the reality that is Christ. The fulfillment of the law through Christ allows believers to rest in their faith rather than in rituals or ordinances, establishing a new understanding of what it means to keep the Sabbath.
