Moses and the Exodus, sentence 4
Christians believe this story shows that God sees people who are treated unfairly and sets them free; for a child today it means standing up for the weak, being brave like the midwives, and trusting God one day at a time.
Who acts: Christians, story, God · What happens: believe, show, see, treat, set, mean · To what, where: people, God · Speech: someone speaks here
