In the sermon for the third Sunday of Easter, based on John 21:1-19, in which the disciples saw Jesus while they were fishing, Pastor Douthwaite related Easter to vocation:<\/p>\n

Jesus has not changed, and Easter does not mean that He is now done all His work and now it\u2019s up to us. No, He is still working. What He did before Easter He now does after Easter. And Jesus is not just now all \u201cspiritual\u201d \u2013 He is still working through the physical, through their calling, or vocation, as fishermen. That didn\u2019t change and won\u2019t change. What changed is the disciples. What changed is us. Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection was not to make Jesus new, but to make us new. To raise us from sin, fear, and death to a new life in Him. Not a new super-spiritualized life, but a new life in your callings, or vocations. Not to take us out of this world, but to make us new in this world. And we see that in Peter. He is a changed man. And so are you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
