Rabbi Schneider: 本集讲述了三位牧羊人的故事，他们的生活将因耶稣的诞生而改变。神选择牧羊人作为第一批见证耶稣诞生的人，是因为神常常将自己比作牧羊人，而人如同羊群一样需要神的看顾。人如同羊群一样软弱、脆弱，需要神的看顾。圣经经常用牧羊人的形象来形容属灵的领导者。牧羊人见证耶稣诞生，突显了属灵引导的重要性以及神对祂子民的关怀。描述了牧羊人夜间在旷野看守羊群的场景，以及突然发生的事件。描述了天使报佳音的场景。牧羊人对天使报佳音的反应以及前往伯利恒的经过。报佳音的信息充满喜乐，因为预示着救世主的到来，实现了神拯救祂子民的应许。神的拯救不分地位、财富，福音是为所有人而预备的。基督的降生最终是为了荣耀神。预告下一集的内容：牧羊人寻找耶稣，并无意中为希律王得知耶稣的降生埋下伏笔。 主持人: 牧羊人与天使相遇的教训：谦卑、喜乐和敬拜。约瑟知道耶稣是个非凡的孩子。马利亚知道耶稣是救世主。
