Luke 2-3

Mark 2: 25 -32
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.  And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,  Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,  Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,  Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Simeon was a just and devout man.  It was not necessary for his salvation to personally see Jesus before he died. Rather, it was a gift from God to Simeon to be able to see and hold his savior. 
There is nothing in this world we must see, and nobody that must meet in order to be saved, but what person, place, or thing would you consider a gift from God to be able to see?
