True Peace

As the controversy continues over the Nobel committee choosing Obama for the Peace prize, I'm reminded of Jesus' words concerning peace:

Matthew 10:34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

Somehow I don't think He would have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for that one statement alone. I have certainly found peace in Him, but it is a peace with myself and with His will for my life, not an external earthly peace.
