The spiritual and sacramental dimension of the Church's mission, according to John 5, 1-5. The present study, starting from the exegetical analysis of the episode of the healing of the emaciated man from Vitezda, presents an outline of the mission of the contemporary Church based on the sacramental dimension of its activity. The exegetical part of the study emphasizes the initiative of Jesus in searching for the one in suffering. He, Jesus, is the One who seeks the weak, and not the other way around. The meeting of the paralyzed person with God takes place against the background where any hope for human help has been shattered. But Jesus is also the One who seeks, again, the one who had been paralyzed. The meeting, this time, takes place in the temple, when the healed person also receives from Jesus the solution to deliverance from suffering: "Don't sin again!" Therefore, the messianic mission of Jesus embraced both the suffering and the healed. In the light of this episode, the mission of the Church acquires the outline of its development: Extra muros Ecclesiae and Intra muros Ecclesiae.
