Looking for my savior

This is an amazing story of love, redemption and hope.  It's the story of a man saved from death looking for his savior.  Watch the video, read the short story and then I want to share a bit about another story, another savior....

"In 2008, Jonny Benjamin - then aged 20 - considered killing himself. He was on the ledge of Waterloo Bridge in London, when a stranger stopped and talked to him, and offered him a coffee. Benjamin says this intervention saved his life. Six years later, Benjamin, who now works as a mental health campaigner, decided he wanted to try to track down the man to thank him.

He teamed up with the mental health charity Rethink, and - although he couldn't remember the name of the man - started the hashtag #findmike on 13 January. It took off. There were more than 46,000 tweets using the hashtag, mostly in the UK, but also from around the world - everywhere from the US, to Argentina to Germany, Australia and Thailand. "To be completely honest, I didn't expect to find him," Benjamin told BBC Trending. He was so shaken on the day that he couldn't remember what the man looked like or his name. "It was like finding a needle in a haystack," he says.

Neil Laybourn - who had been on his way to work that day in 2008 - was alerted to the story by his fiance, who read about it on Facebook and the two men met on Tuesday. Since the news broke in the early hours of Thursday, the hashtag #foundmike has begun trending in the UK - with more than 2,000 tweets by the time of publication.

When he considered taking his life, Benjamin had just been diagnosed with schizophrenia and felt he'd been dealt a "life sentence". He says hopes his story will raise awareness about the condition and give hope to others."

What a great story!  A story of despair, a story of love and compassion for another, of salvation and the quest to find his savior.  The story speaks to another, the story of God's love and quest for his children in despair and dying.  

As I watched the video I thought, "Oh, I wish the world knew what they have been saved from and would seek their savior, the one who rescued them!" 

Imagine, if we really understood what Christ has done and sought him out to thank him, how our lives would be changed.
