My reflection paper is a reflection on what I have learned from my class and my understanding of the Christians views. In my paper today I will discuss two topics that deal with Jesus Christ.

Reflection Paper My dad used to tell me all the time that we are all a work in progress. At the time I didn’t know exactly know what he meant.
