President's Easter Message
Easter 2005
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John
3:16
I send greetings to all those celebrating Easter, the Resurrection
of Jesus Christ. Through His sacrifice and triumph over death, Christ
lifted the sights of humanity forever. In His teachings, the poor have
heard hope, the proud have been challenged, and the weak and dying have
found assurance. Today, the words of Jesus continue to comfort and
strengthen Christians around the world.
During this holy season, we thank God for His blessings and ask for
His wisdom and guidance. We also keep in our thoughts and prayers the
men and women of our Armed Forces -- especially those far from home,
separated from family and friends by the call of duty. May the joy of
Easter fill our hearts with gratitude for our freedom, love for our
neighbors, and hope for peace.
Laura and I wish you a Happy Easter.
GEORGE W. BUSH
