Why is Jesus called our Sabbath?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is referred to as our Sabbath because He embodies true rest and salvation offered to believers.

Jesus is our true Sabbath because He provides rest from the burden of sin and the endeavor to earn salvation through human effort. The concept of Sabbath from the Old Testament was meant to signify delight in God and His provision, which is fulfilled in Christ. Believers find their ultimate renewal and spiritual rest in Him every day, not just on a specific day of the week. This understanding aligns with the teachings of Hebrews 4:9-10, which invites us to enter into the rest that Jesus provides through His finished work on the cross.
