We just passed through a very holy time for Christians around the world: Easter week. Beginning with Palm Sunday on March 29 and continuing through the resurrection on April 5, people think on all God has done for them and His great sacrifice done in love. While the US and Britain seem aligned in many matters, this holiday expressed how different we really are.
Britain
While many profess Christ live in Britain, King Charles did not acknowledge them in an address. Rather, he did post on Instagram: “Happy Easter.” However, the king did give a special message to celebrate Ramadan this year.
United States
Contrarily, the President of the United States did acknowledge the reason for the season.
In an address at the Oval Office on Good Friday, President Trump was unapologetic about the Christian message.
Trump said,
On Good Friday, the Son of God was nailed to the cross, crucified, and He died for all of us. It was a day of darkness, but it wasn’t the end by any means. It was not the end.
On Easter Sunday, the stone was rolled away, and the grave was empty. Christians everywhere rejoiced, and we continue to rejoice. Easter is one of the incredible days. It was the miracle in all of history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was one of the great, it was the great miracle, I guess, right?
With Christ, not one thing can separate humanity from the powers of God’s everlasting love [1].
Americans around the world celebrated a risen Savior, and they were pleased to see a world leader recognize Him, too.
