The President\’s Easter Message

President Bush today opened his Easter greeting by citing Luke 24:34: \”The Lord is risen indeed.\”

He then went on to say:

I send greetings to Christians around the world as they gather to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus\’ life and teachings continue to speak to every generation, and Christians believe his miraculous Resurrection provides hope for the future and offers us the promise of new life. Through His ministry and sacrifice, Jesus demonstrated God\’s unconditional love for us. He taught us the importance of helping others and loving our neighbors. His selfless devotion and mercy provide a remarkable example for all of us.

As families and friends gather to enjoy this Easter season, we celebrate God\’s gift of freedom and His love that conquers death. For those who observe Easter, our faith brings confidence that good will overcome evil and that joy is everlasting. Today, we give thanks for God\’s many blessings and pray for His peace in the affairs of men.

What a remarkable thing to have a President that \”gets it\”.

May the joy of Easter and new life find a place in your heart. :-)
