How do we know the Sabbath is fulfilled in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament teaches that Christ is the fulfillment of the Sabbath, representing a new spiritual rest for believers rather than a physical observance.

The fulfillment of the Sabbath in Christ is discussed extensively in the New Testament, particularly in the book of Hebrews. Believers are informed that the Old Testament Sabbath, a type pointing to Christ, has been rendered obsolete with His coming. In Colossians 2:16-17, Paul states that the Sabbaths were shadows of things to come, but the substance is found in Christ. This indicates that the legalistic observance of the Sabbath as a day of rest is no longer necessary; instead, true Sabbath keeping involves resting in the grace and redemption provided by Christ. Moreover, when Christ declared 'It is finished' (John 19:30), he affirmed that He completed the work required for our salvation, thus leading us into a perpetual state of rest in Him.
