Hebrews chapter 4 speaks about resting in Christ's work and ceasing from our own works and compares that to a sabbath rest.
Colossians chapter 2 tells us that the Old Testament feasts, sabbaths, etc. were a shadow of things to come but Jesus is the real thing.
Romans chapter 14 says if a person wants to keep a sabbath they can but a sabbath keeper should not judge one who doesn't keep a sabbath, and one who doesn't keep a sabbath should not judge one who does.
