Why do you think Jesus did a number of His miracles on the Sabbath Day?

To demonstrate to all that the Pharisees' interpretations of the 'letter of the law' had made God's Sabbath a burden to mankind. The Pharisees' distorted view, they had actually turned matters upside down. "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath," Jesus pointed out. Because of their narrow, legalistic view of the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week had become a hardship, weighted down with hundreds of rules and regulations.
Jesus explained the true purpose of the day intended from its inception: God created the day to be a blessing, a time for genuine rest from normal labors rather than an unmanageable, overly restrictive burden. It was a time to be enjoyed, not endured. Further, Jesus said the Sabbath was created for all mankind, and not just for the nation of Israel.
Jesus' teaching in these verses is summarized in The Anchor Bible Dictionary: "At times Jesus is interpreted to have abrogated or suspended the sabbath commandment on the basis of the controversies brought about by sabbath healings and other acts. Careful analysis of the respective passages does not seem to give credence to this interpretation." Not one jot or tittle of the Law of God would be changed. Jesus merely filled to the full both the letter and the spirit of the Law of God.
