So there is nothing new about identity theft, it is as old as humankind.  In fact, Jesus warns us about identity theft-of the deepest kind- it today’s assigned reading from the Gospel of John.  There are many thieves and imposters in this life, Jesus warns us, who will not only steal your stuff, but try to steal your very soul. They will call your name and disguise their voice to be like mine-like your Good Shepherd-but only to deceive you.  Don’t believe them.
