她們確切的年齡不詳，只知道一個是在教堂的台階上被人發現，另一個是由修女撫養長大。哈利娜和克里斯蒂娜在二戰時期出生於波蘭，有將近80年的時間，兩人都不知道彼此的存在。後來，DNA的檢定結果讓姐妹倆得以相認，也讓她們知道自己有猶太血統，這也解釋了當年她們為何被遺棄。二戰時期，她們的猶太血統成為殘暴之人殺害的目標。

你可以想像，一位心驚膽顫的母親為保護孩子不遭殺害，把她們安置在或許能獲救的地方，這不禁讓人聯想到摩西。摩西剛出生時，也因他的血統而成為殺害的目標（出埃及記1章22節）。他母親費盡心機將他放在尼羅河中（2章3節），給了他一個生存的機會。但上帝有一個令摩西母親做夢也想不到的計劃，就是透過摩西拯救上帝的子民。

嬰孩耶穌也有同樣的經歷。就像法老蓄意殺害希伯來男孩一樣，希律王也下令屠殺伯利恆及其附近地方兩歲以下的男嬰（馬太福音2章13-16節）。

其實這些仇恨（尤其是仇恨兒童）都是仇敵魔鬼在暗中操弄。但即使在這樣的暴行中，上帝依然掌管一切！祂為摩西定了計劃，也為你我定了計劃。上帝已透過聖子耶穌揭示最偉大的計劃，就是要拯救、挽回那些曾與祂為敵的人。

Their precise ages are unknown. One was found on the steps of a church; the other knew only that she’d been raised by nuns. Born in Poland during World War II, for nearly eighty years neither Halina nor Krystyna knew about each other. Then DNA test results revealed them to be sisters and led to a joyful reunion. It also revealed their Jewish heritage, explaining why they’d been abandoned. Evil people had marked the girls for death simply because of their identity.

Imagining a frightened mother who leaves her threatened children where they might be rescued calls to mind the story of Moses. As a Hebrew baby boy, he was marked for genocide (see Exodus 1:22). His mother strategically placed him in the Nile (2:3), giving him a chance for survival. God had a plan she couldn’t have dreamed of—to rescue His people through Moses.

The story of Moses points us to the story of Jesus. As Pharaoh had sought the murder of Hebrew boys, Herod ordered the slaughter of all the baby boys in Bethlehem (see Matthew 2:13–16).

Behind all such hatred—especially against children—is our enemy the devil. Such violence doesn’t take God by surprise. He had plans for Moses, and He has plans for you and me. And through His Son, Jesus, He’s revealed His biggest plan—to rescue and restore those who once were His enemies.
