The White House issued a Christmas message this past December that stopped no one from noticing what it said. President Trump opened by calling Jesus Christ “the Light of the World, the source of eternal salvation, and the living Son of God.” Then in May, a White House Pentecost proclamation declared: “We proclaim our faith in Jesus Christ, our hope in His saving power.”
These are not the words of a press secretary. They are official presidential statements published on the White House website — the first time in modern memory a sitting president has used the full language of Christian salvation in formal government communications.
Trump also pledged in his Holy Week message to defend the Christian faith in schools, the military, workplaces, hospitals, and the halls of government — and said America should remain “a beacon of faith, hope, and freedom for the entire world.”
Agree or disagree with his policies, the open declaration that Jesus Christ is the world’s hope and salvation from the office of the presidency is a moment that millions of Christians have never seen in their lifetime.
John 14:6 says: “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
That was true before any president said it. It will be true long after every president is gone.
What do you think — does it matter to you that a sitting president is openly declaring the name of Jesus Christ?
