Hi,
"Roman governor Turnus Rufus asked R' Akiva: Why is Shabbat any different from any other day?
"R' Akiva responded: Why are you any different from any other person? (Just as people invest you with special status, so too people invest Shabbat with special status.)
"Turnus Rufus replied: I am different because my master (the Caesar) declared me different!
"R' Akiva responded: For Shabbat, too, the Master declared it different!"
(Talmud, Shabbat 65b)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
