Have a blessed Sabbath!
Longing for real life, some people get tangled in a web of destruction - often in the most common and obvious snares, such as drugs or drink. These addictions have never solved one single problem - but create millions. Those who cannot live without drugs and drink also cannot live with them. They produce only a chemical dream, a mirage in a waterless desert. Others become addicted to pursuit of success. Their diaries get fuller, their bank accounts fatter, their cars faster - but they never catch up with happiness. Like mountaineers, millions of people display enormous courage, determination and ingenuity to get to the top. But they find only emptiness when they get there. We need more than a cheap solution or a quick fix. We need peace with God. We need him to forgive us, bring us home, restore us to the relationship he has always wanted to have with us. Only Jesus saves.

Have a great Sabbath resting in the Lord!
Exodus 31:16-17 - Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”
Amen
We're not children of Israel. Jesus died to free us from the law and it's 613 rules. We're not under the Sabbath. Paul made it very clear.
Many of us are actually children of Israel by flesh not knowing it (split into the world after Babylonian captivity and other events). But every true Jesus believer is child of God (same as Israeli natives are) by adoption (grafted into good olive tree, see Romans 11:24). But you're right celebrating Sabbath is not an issue for Christians. If you are led to celebrate it to glorify Jesus or Father then do it, if you are not then don't burden yourself, you are not judged and those celebrating be not judged as well.

Sooo, which gate are you walking through in the New Jerusalem??? There is no gate for gentiles...If you aren't grafted in to Israel then you don't get in.
Revelation 21:12 - Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
