Jemar Tisby contrasts Martin Luther receiving a real Nobel peace prize on 10 December 1964, and Trump receiving a fake made-up prize from a global soccer federation "in a ceremony heavy on spectacle and light on substance.
"The juxtaposition couldn’t be starker.
King embodied the costly work of peace. Trump was handed a medal declaring peace in a moment filled with conflict in the U.S. and globally—often of his own making."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"It’s the difference between performative peace and making peace—the contrast Scripture names when it warns against saying, ‘Peace, peace, when there is no peace.’ ...
The comparison exposes the spiritual truth that real peace is never bestowed from political pats on the back by elites. It is built through collective struggle from below."
