BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

This Holy Week, the White House became a place of worship, reflection, and reverence as President Donald Trump delivered a bold and deeply personal message centered on Jesus Christ, the “Living Son of God.” 

In a striking declaration shared across social media and official channels, Trump reminded the nation—and the world—of the redemptive power of Easter. “He is Risen,” he proclaimed, emphasizing the resurrection of Christ as the cornerstone of Christian faith.

President Trump’s message was more than ceremonial. It was heartfelt, echoing the language of believers who view this week as the holiest on the Christian calendar. In his words, the former president and First Lady Melania Trump joined Christians “celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.”

Evangelist Franklin Graham called the proclamation “historic,” praising Trump’s boldness in expressing the gospel so clearly. “In my lifetime, I’ve not seen a president proclaim the message of Jesus Christ with such clarity and conviction,” Graham shared. The affirmation has resonated with countless Christian Americans who view this public declaration as a reaffirmation of the country’s foundational faith.

Accompanying the message were several White House-hosted events that highlighted the spiritual significance of the season. One of the most anticipated was the staff Easter worship service held on Holy Thursday. 

Led by spiritual leaders such as Rev. Franklin Graham, Pastor Greg Laurie, and Pastor Jentezen Franklin, the service included prayer, scripture readings, and communion—marking a rare moment of solemn spiritual gathering within the executive mansion.

The week also featured a special Easter dinner attended by faith leaders and administration officials. Held Wednesday evening, the dinner brought worship and gratitude to the forefront, featuring performances from Liberty University’s worship choir, the Marine Corps Band, and gospel singer Charles Billingsley. 

Pastor Jentezen Franklin offered a powerful prayer, expressing thankfulness for divine protection over the former president following last year’s assassination attempt.

“Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Savior of man was crucified… three days later, the tomb was empty,” Trump shared in his address. “Jesus had defeated darkness and death and promised new life to all of humankind.”

The newly invigorated White House Faith Office, led by Jennifer Korn and Paula White-Cain, orchestrated the week’s spiritual programming. The aim, according to Korn, was “to honor the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ in a way that Americans can share in, reflect on, and celebrate.”

As Easter Sunday approached, President Trump’s message carried a renewed sense of purpose. Calling for “an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our beloved Nation,” he reaffirmed his administration’s support for religious liberty and its promise to protect Christian values in every aspect of American life.

In a season where faith takes center stage, the 2025 Holy Week at the White House offered a bold and prayerful celebration of Christ—the Living Son who brings light to the world.
