Jesus having finished the work of redemption, rested on the Sabbath day. How very like on the first Sabbath, where God saw that all he had done was very good and rested on the 7th Day.
The cry of "it is finished" from the cross showed he had paid the price, and now in satisfaction he rests.There he rests in the tomb awaiting the new week, when he would rise victorious and reveal himself to his disciples, before ascending again to his father where he is today representing his people. He will come again, when we shall enter with Jesus, into that Sabbath of Rest that remains to the people of God.How glorious.
