Why is Jesus called the Lord of the Sabbath?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called the Lord of the Sabbath as He fulfills its purpose by providing true rest through His work.

In the sermon, it is mentioned that Jesus refers to Himself as the Lord of the Sabbath, particularly in light of His teachings in Matthew 11:28-30. The Sabbath was instituted as a day of rest, symbolizing the ultimate rest that Jesus provides in Himself. He emphasizes that true rest is found in ceasing from our own works and relying on His finished work. By acknowledging Jesus as the Lord of the Sabbath, Christians recognize that it is His redemptive work that leads to ultimate rest for our souls, freeing us from the burdens of self-righteousness.
