In this Easter season reflection, Matt Skinner reminds us that Jesus never asks preachers to do anything he hasn’t already done. Drawing from John 21, where the resurrected Christ feeds and tends to his disciples, we’re called to remember: our role as preachers is rooted in what we’ve already received—care, nourishment, and grace from Jesus himself.
