Over the last several programs, we've set aside all other topics to focus entirely on the

very first Christmas.

And last time, Chuck Swindall described the shocking moment when an angel addressed Mary.

Then our attention turned to the reassurance the angel gave to her fiancé Joseph.

Today, on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall takes us to that hillside setting where an angel

appeared and broke the news.

The one who was coming, this little baby, would transform the world forever.

Chuck titled today's message when an angel spoke to shepherds.

You were never alone.

Or I no longer have him whom I leaned on and needed.

I am alone.

You really are not.

Not any one of us is ever alone.

The Psalmist wrote in 91 verse 11, he will give his angels charge over you to keep you
