The White House released a presidential message for Easter, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, whose “triumph over sin and victory over death secured the promise of redemption and the hope of eternal life for all who believe in Him as Lord and Savior.”
“Sunday, we proclaim with joy that Christ has risen, a new creation has been ushered in, and evil and death have been conquered forever through the unmatched power of God’s sacrificial love,” the message declares, noting that upon His resurrection, He “restored our grace, washed our sins, and reconciled humanity with God—fulfilling the ancient prophecy that ‘He was pierced for our sins, crushed for our iniquity … by His wounds we were healed.'”
The White House said that the “life of Jesus Christ and the truths of the Gospel have inspired our way of life and our national identity for 250 years,” adding that the “love of Christ has unfailingly guided our Nation through calm waters and dark storms.”
“We pray that this celebration of the Resurrection strengthens our faith, enriches our lives, and reawakens our souls,” the message states. “We offer prayers of adoration and thanksgiving for the countless blessings God has bestowed upon our Nation.” Proclaiming that “Death is swallowed up in victory,” the White House said it echoes “with tremendous joy those sacred words that have given life, hope, and purpose to Christians for thousands of years: He is risen.”
Last year, President Trump delivered a heartfelt Easter message to Americans, writing on Truth Social, “Melania and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! Whether you are heading out to Church or, watching Service from home, may this day be full of Peace and Joy for all who celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. HE IS RISEN!!”
