Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. This verse from 2 Thessalonians 2:14 speaks to the ultimate goal of our calling in Christ: to obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus. Our calling is not only a call to salvation but also to participate in the glory of Christ, both now and in the future. Birthdays are a reminder that our lives are part of God’s greater plan, and we are called to live in a way that reflects His glory. As we celebrate another year, we can reflect on how we are living for the glory of Christ. Are we allowing His light to shine through us? Are we living with an eternal perspective, seeking to honor Him in every area of our lives? The call to glory is a high and holy calling, one that shapes the way we live, work, and serve. Let us embrace this call, knowing that the glory of Christ awaits those who faithfully follow Him.
