This article addresses the issue of suffering and torment accompanying those who preach the Gospel. The height of humiliation, which has become an everyday occurrence for evangelists, is the comparison of them to garbage and refuse. For the world, they are therefore insignificant, synonymous with the worst. Their weakness is highlighted by the metaphor of clay vessels, which can be easily broken. Nevertheless, God has placed the treasure of the Gospel in them. It is because of this that they participate in the broader sense of Christ’s death. However, this bears fruit in the life of Christ not only in them, but also in the recipients of the Good News.
