When you think about this scripture" When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.Matt 9:36 and consider for a moment a flock of sheep without a shepherd and all the things that could go wrong. Disease, exposure to predators etc, you come to the conclusion that human beings need someone to lead, direct, guide in order to maximize their fulfill potential. Rev David Sackey sheds some more light on this theme.
