A beautiful island sits off the coast of Brazil, but the Brazilian government has ruled it off limits to visitors. Its residents, which number approximately one for every square meter of space on the island, would surely invite you to stop by if they could.
Unfortunately for them, they don’t have that capability, so the 110-acre island remains uninhabited by humans, but is home to hundreds of thousands of snakes, giving the island its appropriate name … Snake Island.
Matthew writes that “when [Jesus] saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. The He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (9:36-38)
Most of us would be afraid to step foot on Snake Island. The thought of guiding someone to Christ can be a nerve-wracking thought as well, but we shouldn’t be afraid. We don’t need to have all the answers. We can learn and grow alongside the person we’re guiding. There is no greater accomplishment in life than leading someone to Christ.
