Answer To The Shabbos Hagodol Riddle

Because the נס of crossing the Yarden didn't happen on Shabbos, we have Shabbos Hagadol.

The Bach (O.Ch.430) writes, why  do we commemorate the נס  (sheep tied to bed ) on Shabbos instead of  the tenth of Nissan. 

He explains so as  not to confuse it with  a different  נס that also happened  on the tenth of Nissan. The crossing of the  Yarden happened on the tenth of Nissan but  not on Shabbos.  .

By commemorating the נס  (sheep tied to bed ) always on Shabbos  and not on the13th Nissan
no one will think we are celebrating because of the נס of crossing the Yarden.
