On December 3, 2020, Pre4sident Trump spoke at the National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony [1]. Not only did he wish Americans a “very, very Merry Christmas”, but he spoke on the true meaning of Christmas. Retelling the Christmas story, he said,
More than two thousand years ago, the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary. He said, ‘Do not be afraid, you have found favor with God.’ The angel told her that she would give birth to a baby boy, Jesus, who would be called the Son of the Most High.
He went on to explain the season,
As Christians everywhere know, the birth of our Lord and Savior changed history forever. At Christmas, we give thanks to God and that God sent his only Son to die for us and to offer everlasting peace to all humanity. More than two millennia after the birth of Jesus Christ, his teachings continue to inspire and uplift billions and billions of people all over the globe. His Divine word still fills our hearts with hope and faith. And, Christians everywhere still strive to live by Jesus’ timeless commandment to his disciples, ‘Love one another.’
President Trump was full of thanks for Almighty God sending His son. Trump then asked God to continue to bless this nation.
Above all, during the sacred season, our souls are full of thanks and praise for Almighty God for sending us Christ His Son to redeem the world. Tonight, we ask that God will continue to bless this nation.
Despite the inability to watch this ceremony on mainstream media, one can view the ceremony on youtube here.
