Closely related to our last identification of Jesus as the giver of the ten commandments at Mount Sinai is His own claim to being Lord of the Sabbath. Note the parallel:
“He said unto them, This is that which the LORD [Jehovah] hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD [Jehovah]....See, for that the LORD [Jehovah] hath given you the sabbath” (Ex. 16:23,29).
“Keep My sabbaths: I am the LORD [Jehovah] your God” (Lev. 19:3).
“It is the sabbath of the LORD [Jehovah] in all your dwellings” (Lev. 23:3).
“When the Pharisees saw it, they said unto Him, Behold, Thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. But He said unto them, . . . I say unto you...the Son of Man is Lord even of the sabbath day” (Matt. 12:28).
Is it not true that the only legitimate way in which Jesus could claim supremacy to God’s sabbath was in consideration of the fact that He was the One who gave the sabbath?
Yes, how plain it is: Jesus is Jehovah.
