how do new testament writers reinterpret or fulfill the sabbath command?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Mark 2:27-28

“He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.””

Jesus and his disciples are walking through grainfields on the Sabbath, and the disciples pick heads of grain to eat, which the Pharisees consider unlawful work. In response to their criticism, Jesus offers this teaching about the nature and purpose of the Sabbath.

What does it mean to approach spiritual practices as something made for human well-being, rather than as burdens to be strictly kept?
