If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?It says elsewhere that the Sabbath was made for man, not vice versa. This is a great illustration of that. The Sabbath exists so that we will rest, and not keep going at full speed until we burn out.
God rested on the Sabbath because His work was done, not because He needed to. Similarly, we are to get our work done in 6 days, so we can recharge (something God doesn't need). However, if something happens on Sunday and we need to do important "work," there is nothing that keeps us from doing so. We just need to make sure we get the rest we need and God instructs.
