What does John 20 teach us in The Resurrection and the Empty Tomb?

He shows that the empty tomb, the undisturbed grave clothes, and Christ's appearance to Mary Magdalene are historical evidence that death has been defeated, and that the risen Christ not only forgives believers but adopts them as sons and daughters of God.
