I'm not sure of Christianity, but for example, Moses was the way out of the darkness for Pharaoh and his people.
In each day and age, there exists a means towards God by which God wants us to enter.
The arrogance of saying "we don't need any help from you God to guide us out" is to stay, you who stumble in the darkness at the initial steps can be guided on your own through out the journey to God without divine help. You who have no sight of the path ahead can make it stumbling in the darkness without a light that sees the path and can show you the path.
Who's more worthy of being followed, who guides to the truth or that who doesn't guide to the truth unless it is guided.
Obviously, people stating their opinions and society forming up cultural morals always happened and people followed leaders who didn't know the truth fully.
However, God knows who guides to the truth and as such can bring such people out.
Among the truths they guide to is how to show humility towards God both outwardly and inwardly, and repent sincerely out of love and regret.
Jesus was such a leader and guide, and his revelation called towards such guidance.
However people centered too much around one of the means towards God (Jesus) who was the light of the world, and equated him to God.
However it was true the way out of sins and the way to show repentance to God was through Jesus.
We are broken and have chained hearts, and need a connection to God. Jesus was that connection, and door God wanted people to enter by.
Moses was a homicidal maniac thug and con man. He was one of the worse people in the Bible. His family kicked him out when he was a baby to be a croc's snack. He never knew his father.
