An Easter of Redemption, Renewal, and Unity

As we gather this Easter season, let us lift our hearts in celebration of the cornerstone of our faith: the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a time to rejoice in the miracle of new life, the triumph of hope over despair, and the eternal promise that through Christ, all things are made new.

Easter reminds us that even in our darkest hours, light breaks through. The stone was rolled away. The tomb was found empty. Death was defeated. And with it, every believer was given a future secured by grace. As Scripture tells us, "He is not here; he has risen, just as he said" (Matthew 28:6). These words echo through the ages as the ultimate assurance that God keeps His promises.

This holy season is also marked by Passover - when our Jewish brothers and sisters remember how the Lord delivered His people from bondage and led them to freedom. The message of deliverance and redemption unites us across faiths. Whether we celebrate the Resurrection or the Exodus, we are reminded that the same God who parted the Red Sea also rolled away the stone - and that He is still working miracles in our lives and our nation.

In a time when division and discord too often dominate the headlines, Easter and Passover remind us of a greater truth: we are one people under God. We are Americans bound not only by geography, but by shared values; faith, freedom, family, and the enduring belief that God is not finished with this country. We may worship differently, but we are united in our gratitude, our love for our neighbor, and our hope for a better tomorrow.

This Easter, let us pray for spiritual renewal in America - that hearts would be softened, families strengthened, and our leaders guided by the wisdom that only comes from above. May our churches proclaim the Good News with boldness. May our synagogues echo the ancient songs of deliverance. And may our homes be filled with peace, gratitude, and unity.

To those around the world who wish harm upon our people or our principles, we send a message of clarity and conviction: America is strong because our

foundation is sure. Our strength comes not just from our economy or our military, but from our unwavering faith in a just and mighty God. As President Ronald Reagan once said, "If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under."

Finally, let us not forget the power of compassion. In this season of giving and grace, let us reach out to those in need - with open hands and open hearts. Whether you are comforting the lonely, feeding the hungry, or simply offering a word of kindness, you are living out the message of Easter.

So whether you gather around a Communion table or a Seder plate, may your heart be filled with awe for the God who delivers, redeems, and restores. From the parted waters of the Red Sea to the rolled-away stone of the empty tomb, His power and love endure from generation to generation. Chag Sameach. Happy Easter. And may the blessings of faith, freedom, and unity be upon you and your family during this holy season.

May God bless you, may God bless our Jewish and Christian brothers and sisters alike, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.
