President Donald Trump not only acknowledges Easter, but he also expounds and explicitly preachs the meaning.
Palm Sunday – A Day to commemorate the victory over Jerusalem before Jesus’ death and resurrection – Trump Released a theologically rich and explicitly Christian statement To mark the beginning of Holy Week. The message sounded more like a Sunday sermon in the pulpit than a note from an oval office.
This is where the message begins:
This Holy Week Melania and I will be taking part in Christians and prayers celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
From there, Trump walked through the stories of passion from Palm Sunday to Easter vigils, explaining the meaning and importance behind each event, the age of reflection for Christians to commemorate Jesus’ crucifixion, and the age of reflection for preparing their hearts, hearts and souls for the resurrection of his Miractus.
But it gets even better. Trump’s statement acknowledges that Easter Sunday’s glory (i.e., empty tomb) is rooted in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
“In his last time on earth, Christ was willing to endure the unbearable pain, torture and execution on the cross, from his deep, existing love for all his creation,” the statement said. “Through his suffering, we have redemption. Through his death, we are forgiven for our sins. Through his resurrection, we hope for eternal life. On the morning of Easter, the stones are caught up, the tomb is empty, and the light spreads through the darkness – indicating that death has no final words.”
Amen.
Trump hasn’t reduced Easter to bunny themed holidays. Instead, he declares the truth about Easter.
Furthermore, Trump used his statement to repeat his promise to “protect the Christian faith,” and vowed to “never shake up” the fight.
What surprised me about Trump’s statement is that it is not just a refreshing Christian and a great theological message, but it is dramatically different from former President Joe Biden’s Easter statement.
Despite being Catholic, Biden’s statement was not theologically rich, not explicitly Christian, and was filled with ambiguous admiration.
For example, last year, Biden I gave it His “warmest wish” to Christians. The statement simply said Easter “reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s resurrection,” and of course, it’s already happening. The message then simply said, “We remember the sacrifice of Jesus,” before it ended with an empty praise for “the dawn blessing of new possibilities,” while making a political statement about the war.
Read it for yourself:
Jill and I send the warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s resurrection.
When we are gathering with our loved ones, we remember the sacrifice of Jesus. We pray to each other and cherish the dawn blessing of new possibilities. And as war and conflict are taking a blow to innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to working for peace, security and dignity of all people.
From our family to you, Happy Easter, and may God bless you.
Worse, Biden I declared using Easter last year “Transgender Day in Vision,” a clear slap on the face to Christianity.
For the record: Biden’s Easter Statement 2021, 2022and 2023 It wasn’t even more robust.
The Trump administration is planning a week of celebrations to celebrate Holy Week, not only in the way the Biden administration did not participate in the message. According to Fox News. The White House Face Office is “committed to giving Easter the observance it deserves,” said Jennifer Cone, the White House Face Office’s Faith Director.
In an age when Christian faith was relegated to a “negative world” – ocklol, slander, and sanitized – Christians should be aware of Trump’s statements because of their clarity and belief.
Trump hasn’t reduced Easter to bunny themed holidays. Instead, he declares Easter truth, a historical moment in which Christ defeated sin and death. Meanwhile, Biden has continued his progressive tradition of crying out Christian faith, replacing it with general admiration and a barely nod to the true meaning of Easter.
The difference between the two messages is not cosmetics, but the universe.
When leaders of the free world preach the gospel at Easter, all Christians should notice, thank you, and say “Amen.”
