One short Bible Christmas story is about the shepherds. On that first Christmas night, the shepherds were out in the fields, watching over their flocks. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. The angel said, 'Don't be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'
