Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to Him that appointed Him.
Hebrews 3:1-2
"The Sabbath means Christ, and Christ means the Sabbath. 
The Sabbath is the Lord’s own sign of what Jesus Christ is to men; and we are to consider Him in respect to it, and His faithfulness in keeping it.
*Because it was for not keeping the Sabbath to suit the Pharisees and the scribes and the doctors of the law, that He was persecuted first. *And when He persisted in His way of keeping the Sabbath, that is, the Lord’s way, in spite of their persecution, then they went about to kill Him.
*And when He would not give it up, then they did kill Him.
---But God raised Him from the dead, and took Him to a world where He can keep the Sabbath without being annoyed, and without disturbing anybody."
