If you were to ask multiple people of different religions what their interpretation was of Jesus, there would be an abundant of diverse replies. Although, a more universal outlook of Jesus is that he was loving, compassionate and faithful person. I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ and his writings. As a young girl, I attended a Catholic grammar school. Eventually, I moved to Upper Westchester and then attended a public school. While I was attending public school, it was extremely looked down upon to talk about or refer to any kind of religion.
