1 Nephi 8:6

6  And it came to pass that he spake unto me, and bade me follow him.
            -We are not expected to get through this life without guidance.  We are not sent out into the wilderness of mortality alone.   We are given help, plenty of it.  Even Lehi was directed but the only thing those assigned as “helpers” can do to assist us is “bade (us to) follow him.” This type of tutor is a pattern in the scriptures.  Very similar personages were sent to Daniel, Joseph Smith and others. Invitations to “follow” recognize the existence of agency but provide an opportunity for action.   That has always been the Savior’s invitation.
