The Lord of the Sabbath Lives in Me

I see the Lord of the Sabbath as living in me. It was given before Christ came, when He came it was fulfilled and now that Sabbath rest lives in me. He is my rest every day, I am free to choose a day or everyday to worship. And, He worships on my behalf when I don't know what to say.

We don't have to work anymore, Christ paid for our salvation, He did all the work for that, so I rest in Him and He does all the work in me.

The Sabbath rest is no longer a particular day, it is now Christ in us all the times. Completely fulfilled.

Matthew 12:8 "…7 If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” 9 Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,…"

The Sabbath is not a particular day, it is a particular Person, God, Christ in us.

Christ observed the Sabbath day when He was here because He had not yet died, He also observed the Passover, because He had not yet died. After His death we were given the Lord's supper in place of the Passover because the Passover was a picture of the Lord to come. After His death the Lord's supper was the fulfillment, He had come, He died, was buried and rose again, that's what I celebrate.

I do not celebrate that He will come, I celebrate that He did it and it was finished as He said before He died. There was nothing more to be done to cover man's sin with His blood, He did it all on that cross.
