the decalogue contains no commandments to work, but there is a commandment to rest from work... the Sabbath rest is the visible sign that human beings live by the grace of God and not by works.
our sunday is the day on which we let Jesus Christ act for us and for all humankind. of course, that should happen every day, but on sunday we rest from our work so that it may happen in a special way.
