(CNSNews.com)<\/strong> – Speaking to a group of Christian clergy at the Easter Prayer Breakfast\u00a0 he hosted at the White House on Wednesday, President Barack Obama\u00a0 referred to Jesus Christ as \u201ca son of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity for us to reflect on the triumph of the\u00a0 resurrection, and to give thanks for the all-important gift of grace,\u201d\u00a0 Obama said of Easter, which is this Sunday. \u201cAnd for me, and I\u2019m sure for\u00a0 some of you, it\u2019s also a chance to remember the tremendous sacrifice\u00a0 that led up to that day, and all that Christ endured–not just as a Son\u00a0 of God, but as a human being.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Christian faith teaches that Jesus is the only<\/em> Son of God. John\u00a0 3:16-18: \u201cFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,\u00a0 that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For\u00a0 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to\u00a0 save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned,\u00a0 but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have\u00a0 not believed in the name of God\u2019s one and only Son.\u201d Click here<\/a> to read more.<\/p>\n
