On Thursday, while attending the National Christmas Tree lighting, President Trump reportedly quoted the Gospel.
Who is praying on the wall?
From Breitbart:
Trump, flanked by first lady Melania Trump, cited John 1:4 from the Gospel.
“Tonight, this beautiful evergreen tree glows bright on the dark and cold winter night and reminds us of the words of the Gospel of John: ‘In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.’ Beautiful words,” Trump said.
“With the birth of Jesus, human history turned from night to day. His Word and His example call us to love one another, to serve one another, and to honor the sacred truth that every child is specially made in the image of God,” he continued.
Just before quoting John, the President also recognized the true reason for the season, saying, “During this holy season, Christians everywhere rejoice at the miracle in Bethlehem, more than 2,000 years ago, when the Son of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, came down from heaven to be with us.”

President Trump’s usage of the word “our” is striking. Is he calling Jesus Christ his personal savior, or is he simply referencing Christ’s lordship over America?
We do not and likely never will know President Trump’s heart on this matter. However, we have prayed for years for him to be personally saved. Furthermore, we know the Lord has been working on him ever since an assassin nearly took his life last July.
Whatever the President’s personal beliefs are, it is clear he is sensitive to and reverent toward the Gospel. Let’s thank God for giving us a President who honors Him and knows His Word!
