Mark 2:27

Then He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

From Background Notes [BN] for September 1^st & 2^nd written by Pastor Bob Brown:

This connection between Sabbath, work and human salvation receives additional explanation in the book of Hebrews. In that New Testament book, the writer argues consistently that the Old Testament rituals find complete fulfillment in Jesus. He says, in effect, come to Jesus for the things you formerly sought in the sacraments of the Torah.

 

And so, he says things like, Jesus is our High Priest, and Jesus shed his blood to forgive our sins. Sabbath is no exception. Jesus brings Sabbath to a new level not possible before by simply seeing it as a mandatory observance, one day out of seven. [BN, 7]
