BBC reportWOW   Tom Lehrer gave up satire when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He couldn't compete.

Brother,
At some point you'll need to stop being surprised by these things. The world does what is convenient. Besides this is just one more trophy that President Obama will have the privilege to lay down at the foot of the cross when the Holy Spirit convicts him of sin, and all his futile pursuits, and saves his soul.
Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. What kindness, and mercy, certainly not a convenient gesture, for the Lord. I am reminded also that He did not consider it a prize to be equal with God, but lowered Himself. That word prize means "owned" or "rightly Possesed" Christ did in fact have a right to Deity and all the glory, and exalting that comes with that.
In the greatest display of LOVE anyone has ever known He laid it down for sinners.
It's amazing to think about the Prize that will be ours on the day of our complete redemption. Sinners don't deserve what they are going to receive from Christ, by Christ. Even to hear well done good and faithful servant will seem a miss, since we can do nothing without Christ. Christ is Pre-eminent
Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
We don't deserve the Prize or the Peace that Christ gives to us.

The saddest part of this whole mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize is that Barakus Obamus Caesar has not done ANYTHING yet. Not only that, the nominations for this years peace prize were put in only eleven days after he took office. If this is not politically motivated then I am a monkey's uncle.
In Christ,
George

Brother George, you said

This is another great reminder of how Christ has treated us. It is hard to believe sometimes that Christ paid for our sins even before we were born to commit them. Before we did ANYTHING. We won the Eternal Peace Prize Brother! Because we have one that loves us based on the merits of CHRIST.
You might find it interesting to go back and look at previous winners of the earthly peace prize, based on the current conditions in the world we might want to revoke every last one of them.
Shalom (peace)
Seth
