"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." Heb 4:9
The clear teaching of the Sabbath in Hebrews chapters three and four is that the faith rest awaiting God's children is not another legalistic day to debate over but an eternal state of rest where we leave our "works" and enjoy His finished "works ordained for us to walk in" Eph 2:10
We erroneously think of a Sabbath as a break in the work schedule because we have to go back to work on Monday. Not so for God. When he finished the creation work his Sabbath state of being was final and permanent. Spiritually, that is where we need to arrive.
