President Donald Trump issued a message recognizing Holy Week and Easter, pointing to the significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and describing what he said is a resurgence of faith across the United States.

In his remarks, Trump said, “This Holy 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 continued by reflecting on the example set through Christ’s life and death, stating, “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.”

Trump also referenced the Gospel of John, saying, “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.”

The president said Easter serves as a reminder for Christians around the world of the hope tied to that message.

“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 this Easter,” Trump said, before turning to what he described as growing religious engagement in the country.

He stated, “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.” Trump added that church attendance is increasing, saying, “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.”
