“Mar 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:
Heb 4:9-10 “There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his”
Jesus is our sabbath rest”

“Jesus is our Sabbath rest” is confusing, please share, what do you mean?
Look at verse 8 in Hebrews Chapter 4:
“For if Jesus had given them rest, he would never have afterwards spoken of another day.”
God was displeased with the Sabbath, Isaiah 1:13. God sees
all of time, the Sabbath was changed to the Lord’s Day, celebrated in the New Covenant on the “first day of the week” instead of Saturday to honor Our Lord’s resurrection.
God was not tired on the 7th day..He did not need a rest.. It was in a sense a 'type" ... We can rest from our works because of Jesus
"This is exactly what happened with these Old Testament shadows, including the Sabbath. When the Lord came, and his work was ended, making possible the true fulfillment of God's intention in the Sabbath, the picture was no longer needed. The weekly sabbath ended at the cross. Paul specifically says this. In the letter to the Colossians he confirms it to us"
. (Hebrews 4:9-10 So then, there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God [it is available to us now]; for whoever enters God's rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his.

Yesterday found me at my church.. I am not saying that the meeting together for worship is no significance.. but it is not a sin to miss church ...BTW Going to church does not save anyone, or make one a Christian.. .just like sleeping in your garage does not make you a car.. Going to church is a heart matter
