I think it is important to note the distinction between the Sabbath being abrogated and the Sabbath being fulfilled in Christ, so that all non-sabbatarians aren't lumped into the former position. I thought, however, that all non-sabbatarians believed the Sabbath was fulfilled in Christ, instead of it just being abrogated. Luther and Calvin did. So, from that basis, non-sabbatarians would tend to say that the ceremony of the sabbath was typical, and foreshadowed the ceasing of our labors towards the perfect obedience of the law, and the resting in the work of the Messiah to write it upon our hearts. As a shadow, it would pass at the arrival of the substance.

Blessings!
