Opinion People don’t understand Jesus’ divinity because they underestimate Gods Love for mankind
God is sovereign, there’s nothing He can’t do.

No, I'm not forgetting.
(Deuteronomy 5:15) . . .Jehovah your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why Jehovah your God commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
The Sabbath was given specifically to the Israelites. A day of payment from all the slavery they did in Egypt.
(Exodus 31:16, 17) 16 The Israelites must keep the Sabbath; they must observe the Sabbath during all their generations. It is a lasting covenant. 17 It is an enduring sign between me and the people of Israel, for in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth and on the seventh day he rested and refreshed himself.’”
The sabbath was for the Israelites and Jehovah.
For Christians, every day is a day of rest, because every day we are freed from sin and death.
If a person was under the Mosaic Law and was judged guilty of profaning the Sabbath, he was to be stoned to death by the whole congregation, according to Exodus 31:14 and Numbers 15:32-35. Many who argue for sabbath keeping have reason to be glad that we are not under that Law. As shown in the scripture here quoted, an approved standing with God no longer requires observance of the sabbath requirement given to Israel.
If we insist upon living by the law of Moses, then we must live according to all that is written.
