The life of Jesus Christ βis central to all human historyβ (βThe Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles,β ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
What does that mean?
In part, it surely means that the Saviorβs life influences the eternal destiny of every human being who has ever lived or will ever live.
You might also say that the life and mission of Jesus Christ, culminating in His Resurrection on that first Easter Sunday, connects all of Godβs people throughout history: Those who were born before Christ looked forward to Him with faith (see Jacob 4:4), and those born after look back on Him with faith.
As we read Old Testament accounts and prophecies, we donβt ever see the name Jesus Christ, but we do see the evidence of the ancient believersβ faith in and longing for their Messiah and Redeemer.
So we who are invited to remember Him can feel a connection with those who looked forward to Him.
For truly Jesus Christ has borne βthe iniquity of us allβ (Isaiah 53:6; italics added), and βin Christ shall all be made aliveβ (1 Corinthians 15:22; italics added).
