President Donald Trump was widely praised for his overtly Christian call to celebration in recognizing the crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ after releasing a powerful video from the Oval Office on Good Friday.
Seated from the Resolution Desk, Trump remarked that this was the ‘most glorious miracle of all time’ as he spoke of Christ overcoming death and providing eternal life to all of mankind. “This week, I’m proud to join with Christians across the country and around the world to celebrate the most glorious miracle in all of time, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus. Christ,” he began.
“In his life, Christ displayed true humility. In his death, he modeled true love, and in his resurrection from the tomb, he proved that even death itself will not silence those who place their trust in Almighty God, as it says in Gospel of John, For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son for whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life, eternal life, such beautiful words,” he continued.
“This Easter, millions of Christians all over the globe will be reminded that because of what Jesus did on the cross, all of us can live every day with hope in God’s promise, knowing that in the end, evil and wickedness will not prevail in the spirit of joy and renewal,” he added.
“This Easter, we also celebrate the extraordinary resurrection of faith and religion in America, as I have often said, to be a great nation, you must have religion and you must have God in churches across the nation, on Sunday, the pews will be fuller, younger and more faithful than they have at any time in many, many years, religion is growing again in our country for the first time in decades,” he went on.
Concluding the message, the 47th President of the United States wished all Americans a happy Easter and celebrated the nation’s resurgence under his leadership. “Happy Easter to all. May, God bless you. May God bless the United States of America. Our country is doing so well like never before. Thank you.”
Last year, the President likewise issued a meaningful message around Easter, a far cry from the previous year when his predecessor Joe Biden commemorated Trans Visibility Day on Easter Sunday.
In that 2025 Easter statement, the president said that “[t]his Holy Week, Christians around the World remember the Crucifixion of God’s Only Begotten Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and, on Easter Sunday, we celebrate His Glorious Resurrection and proclaim, as Christians have done for nearly 2,000 years, ‘HE IS RISEN!;”
Continuing in part, Trump explained the significance of the holiday. He declared, “Through the pain and sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, we saw God’s boundless Love and Devotion to all Humanity and, in that moment of His Resurrection, History was forever changed with the Promise of Everlasting Life.”
