Generations have come and gone, but the teachings of Jesus Christ continue to be read, discussed and remembered around the world.
For Christians, His words offer guidance during both joyful and difficult periods of life.
The message of loving your neighbor, showing mercy and forgiving others remains at the center of Christian faith.
For an older generation especially, these teachings can bring back memories of childhood, family traditions and Sunday mornings spent in church.
But faith is not always about having every answer.
Sometimes, believers say, it is about finding enough hope to take the next step.
That may be why people continue to open their Bibles during difficult moments, say a quiet prayer before going to sleep, or turn to familiar words when they don’t know what else to do.
Whatever someone’s personal circumstances may be, the story and teachings of Jesus remain one of the most influential parts of human history.
