In the Torah, Shabbat is meant for a rest day with no driving, use of electronics, use of arts & crafts, etc. But sadly not many Jews now-a-days follow this rule. Shabbat is also for going to Synagogue and praying to God.

Why is Jesus 'Lord of the Sabbath'?

The sabbath was instituted by God at Creation as the seventh day - the day when God 'rested'. Therefore God is in control of, or Lord of, the sabbath. Christians believe that Jesus' claims to be divine are true, and that Jesus is, indeed, God incarnate. Therefore Jesus, as God, is also Lord of the Sabbath. And in saying this, Jesus took the opportunity (one of many in other situations) of declaring his divinity.
