Description:
Whit sends Connie and Eugene on a trip in the Imagination Station to witness the birth of Jesus Christ. Along the way, they encounter a cranky innkeeper, several smelly shepherds, a crazy but sincere Jewish teacher, a hot-headed but romantic young zealot, a callous but romantic Roman general, and a carpenter and his maiden bride. While the zealot and the general vie for Connie's affections, the teacher explains the strange star up in the sky to Eugene-and they both bear witness to the glory of the newborn King. The story continues in part III...

Questions:
Hezekiah waited his whole life to see the baby Jesus. What would it be like to wait for something your whole life? Why was seeing the baby Jesus so important to him? Aaron the shepherd was heading outside of Bethlehem to watch the sheep and Connie said that he was going to see something. What do you think he's going to see?
