When the shepherds were out in the field watching over the sheep, an angel appeared to them and told them that a Savior has been born to them, but not just to them, to the whole world. So they went to the place where the angel said the baby would be born, and then when they saw the Child, they spread the news about Him everywhere. That baby, was Jesus. Once the shepherds were able to focus on Jesus, they had no more fear.
