There is a powerful line at the end of Jesus' struggle on that terrible cross.
"It is finished!"
The battle with evil was done and won before Sabbath began.
And then he rested.
The work was complete.
And so he rested.
An echo of events at creation!
In six days his work was done!
Magnificently done!
And then, a day of rest.
We rest too - in honour of all he accomplished!
Both at creation - and at our redemption.
We rest in honour of him.
