President Donald Trump delivered an Easter video message to Christians in the United States and around the world, quoting the Gospel of John and declaring that “evil and wickedness will not prevail.”
Describing the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as “the most glorious miracle in all of time,” Trump drew on one of the Bible’s most widely cited verses to anchor his message.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, for whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life,” he said, adding that the words were “beautiful.”
Trump said millions of Christians worldwide would be reminded this Easter 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.”
The message traced the significance of Christ through three moments.
In His life, Trump said, 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.”
The president also touted what he calls an "extraordinary resurrection of faith and religion in America," saying that church 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,” the president said, adding that national greatness requires religious faith. “To be a great nation you must have religion, and you must have God,” he said.
Separately, the White House issued a written Easter statement jointly from Trump and first lady Melania Trump, grounding the message in Christian theology and American national identity.
The statement said Christ’s Resurrection “secured the promise of redemption and the hope of eternal life for all who believe in Him as Lord and Savior.” It proclaimed that “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 written statement quoted the prophet Isaiah to convey the meaning of Christ’s suffering.
“He was pierced for our sins, crushed for our iniquity … by His wounds we were healed,” it read. Christ’s “suffering won our victory, His love brings us life, and His Resurrection is our everlasting hope,” the statement added.
The statement placed Easter within a longer arc of American history, saying the life of Jesus Christ and the truths of the Gospel “have inspired our way of life and our national identity for 250 years.”
It invoked “the Christian patriots who won and secured our liberty on the battlefield” and said “the love of Christ has unfailingly guided our nation through calm waters and dark storms.”
The statement also quoted Scripture to proclaim triumph over death, saying “Death is swallowed up in victory,” and closed with words Christians have repeated for centuries: “He is risen.”
Easter, one of Christianity’s most important observances, marks the Resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after His crucifixion and is celebrated by more than 2 billion Christians worldwide.

*PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’s 2026 EASTER MESSAGE TO CHRISTIANS AROUND THE WORLD*
This country is very safe so long as we give Jesus the credit.
God bless the courage and faith of President Trump.
John 3:16.
He has Paula White as a spiritual advisor. He had Kenneth Copeland at one of his rallies to give a speech. I think I’ll pass on his message.
Why be such an arsehole on a thread about Easter? I suppose you can’t help it.
Which message is real didnt he praise Allah on the same day? Bitter and sweet water cant flow from the same spring.
A message with multiple quotes from the New Testament.
Quote-The statement also quoted Scripture to proclaim triumph over death, saying “Death is swallowed up in victory,”
1 Corinthians 15:54
Quote-The statement said Christ’s Resurrection “secured the promise of redemption and the hope of eternal life for all who believe in Him as Lord and Savior.”
If this statement had been broadcast in Europe, UK and parts of Canada, some folks would have been up in arms about “hate speech”....
Here is the message from the Polish President
https://www.president.pl/news/easter-wishes-from-the-presidential-couple,118136
“Dear Compatriots, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Christ is risen and lives!
May this joyful news fill all Polish homes in Poland and beyond with optimism and hope.
‘Christ conquered death and sin, Hell and Satan’s power,/ Rising on Easter Morn in that glorious hour./ A faithless people looks with fear and trembling,/ At this prophetic sign,/ Alleluia!”
The lyrics of this traditional song have served for generations to describe the most profound mystery of Christianity, which we reflect on during these festive days. We celebrate the triumph of good over evil, truth over lies, and freedom over enslavement and subjugation.”

Surprisingly India’s stridently Hindu Prime minister Modi wrote
“Greetings on Easter. This sacred day celebrates hope and renewal. May it bring peace, joy and brightness to everyone’s lives. May the teachings of Jesus Christ inspire all to be kind and strengthen the spirit of togetherness in society.”
