Sen. Cruz: This Easter, We Celebrate the Joy of the Resurrection and Christ’s Triumph Over Sin

HOUSTON, Texas -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) issued the following statement in observance of Easter:

"At Easter, we celebrate the joy of the eternal life we are granted through Christ's resurrection. As we gather together this Easter Holiday, let us remember His triumph over sin and death so that we might live in fellowship with God and each other. This year, Heidi and I especially join our prayers with the people of Paris, and for the ultimate rebuilding of their great Cathedral, Notre Dame."

"Heidi and I wish you and your family a very blessed Easter, and hope that on this weekend you will remember the message of Romans 6:8-11:

"‘Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.'"
