How do we know that Jesus is our eternal rest?

The New Testament establishes that Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of the types and shadows presented in the Old Testament. In Hebrews, the author emphasizes that if Joshua, who led Israel into the promised land, had given them true rest, God would not have spoken later about another day of rest (Hebrews 4:8). This indicates that the true rest lies in Christ. The rest He offers is not merely a temporary reprieve from life's struggles but an eternal state of being in His presence, where believers will cease from their labor and share in the joy of salvation. As the High Priest who intercedes for us, Jesus assures believers of this eternal rest by His completed work on the cross.
