ALTHOUGH WE all carry some form of ID, it's not a complete description of who we really are. This week's Christian Science Bible Lesson on "Mortals and Immortals" gives a full explanation of identity. It provides answers to questions about identity theft, distortion, loss. One might describe it as a Lesson about letting go of false or useless models, and claiming our true identity as children of God—responding to Jesus' revelation that we are not mortals, trapped in physical bodies and circumstances, but immortals—with our life and being derived from Spirit.
