Sometimes we criticize the choice of who receives the Nobel Peace prize. Why waste time criticizing any committee for giving something in the manner that this world gives? Are we so naive that we actually expect something that is given by this world could ever meet the highest criterion? Or, are we realistic enough to know that this world gives by this world's standards? Is it not like chasing the wind to expect great standards for peace in a world without peace? Alfred Nobel's legacy is certainly a gesture that measures up to his name, noble, but perhaps it is also naively labeled. There is only one source of peace and it is not found in any of this world's leaders. Jesus is the source and it is a peace which passes understanding. Let us leave the world to its devices and prize the peace that only he can give (John 14:27)
