UV 3079/10000 The Alpha of Life
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Deuteronoy 30 v 19

Jehovah said to Moses, “ I AM WHO I AM”. Jesus said to us, “ I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.” Hence, putting the two together in the light of the above uni-verse, Jesus is the LIFE that God has set before us. We have eternal and abundant life in Jesus. WE are exhorted to choose life or Jesus so that both we and our children will live forever. To corroborate this, we have the record or evidence from both representatives of heaven and of the earth. When we choose Jesus, we are choosing a life of blessing. The blessing of the promise of Jesus lasts beyond a thousand generations or for all eternity.
The word “life” does not signify mere physical life but the life of the spirit. The spirit that God first breathed into man and made him a living soul is restored to us. We can now relate to God as our Creator and Father. God has chosen us from the beginning of time but here and now we are to exercise our choice. We are co-creators of that choice. This choice puts us on the way back to the Lord. This choice we make freely and willingly will determine if we learn all the truths of life. We are no more in darkness and ignorance as to the purpose of life. We are also not bereft of the power of God to fulfil our potential and purpose of life.
When we choose Jesus as our way to God and as the whole and revealed truth of God, we become heirs to all the twelve blessings of being, doing and having declared in Deuteronomy chapter 28 and we are protected from all the 39 curses of being, doing and having declared in the same chapter. Jesus is the way of redemption for mankind on earth in the course of our lifetime as well as for eternal life beyond earth in heaven. It is also interesting to note that according to Roman penal law, Jesus, the sinless One was given thirty nine lashes. The thirty nine stripes or lashes that left lacerated bleeding wounds on His back are meant for our redemption from earthly curses even as His death and resurrection on the cross is meant for our eternal redemption and to guarantee the continuance of our life in heaven. The totality of the need of man is met in the person of Jesus. The only pre-condition to enjoy all the blessings is obedience that comes not from human tradition or man-made rules or compulsion but due to faith and free will of the individual. The volitional belief in Jesus as our Redeemer is tantamount to obeying the entire law of Moses. We move with one decision from the earth’s economy of scarcity of goodness to heaven’s economy of abundance of goodness. This is the reason, Peter Drucker, who is hailed as the Father of modern management when asked why he chose to believe in Jesus said, “ It is the best bargain one can get.”
