And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. — Mark 6:34

Jesus emphasizes the value of teaching again and time again. It’s possible that we mistakenly believed that Jesus’ compassion would result in miracles or other extraordinary events, but what sheep without a shepherd actually need is sound, grounded, down-to-earth instruction from a mentor who is familiar with them and cares about them.
