Grace doctrine allows us to question why we do what we do. And when that happens, the answers and discussions can ruffle a lot of feathers. The fourth episode of Season one of The Last Kingdom brings up some feather ruffling topics. And today, we go there. We are questioning. A scene where Alfred and Uhtred have a provoking conversation while overlooking this majestic scenery. It stirs up some deep seeded traditions and burdens to bear. Uhtred and Mildriths wedding has hidden agendas that lead to questions of God’s control or human manipulation and tithing. And a battle on the horizon won’t stop the Danes from continuing to come after what they want. They wear their feelings on their sleeves. They live life to the fullest. But the Saxons just see heathens coming to take what is given to them by God. Why do the Saxons seem so miserable? The Danes have omens and magic and the Saxons have signs and miracles. It might seem to an outsider that these practices are the same, but just have different vocabulary. Is there a happy medium? Can we find a balance?
