Matthew 12:1-2 ~ The Explanation of the Sabbath

Excerpt:

Jesus Christ is our Sabbath rest.  You see, when God created the Sabbath day, He was presenting what He was going to do for people through Jesus Christ.  He was going to sanctify them and save them with His finished and completed work, but they would have to cease from their own works. They would have to trust solely in the Lord to be saved and not in their own works.  We spiritually enter into God's rest.  All of salvation has been completed for us, and we walk in that Sabbath rest.  That is why Jesus said at the end of Matthew 11, "Come to Me, and I will be your rest." He is not going to give us rest.​​  He is going to be it for us. "And I will bring you to be at rest in Me."  Those are the words of Jesus.  He is our rest.  He is our Sabbath rest.
