The Sabbath: A 5-Day Devotional

DAY 4 OF 5

According to the author of Hebrews, to trust in Christ is to enter the true “Sabbath rest” (Heb. 4:9) that the Jewish people failed to attain. Paul explicitly says that the Sabbath commandment was a “shadow,” but that the shadow is fulfilled in Christ. The Sabbath commandment looked forward to the coming of Christ and was fulfilled by his life and ministry. It promised physical rest to laborers, but Jesus offered a deeper, spiritual rest, a rest from our struggling to make ourselves right before God.
