A Need for Forgiveness

Okay, so there is this story that's been going on in Kenya for the last week or so.A Kenyan gospel rapper and Kora award winner recently went on a trip with a group of friends, and while he was on the trip, he was caught carousing, drinking recklessly and kissing a girl.As a result, many people have turned against him, saying all sorts of nasty things about him, particularly due to the fact that he's a Christian.Even after he came out clean and addmitted that what he did was wrong and intolerable and sought some counselling from his Church elders, people are still saying that he's a bad role model, he's probably not a Christian etc.So...what happened to FORGIVENESS?As Christians, does his mistake tell of our innate imperfection and subsequent need for forgiveness?In any case, if we are unable to empathise with our brother in Christ when he admits weakness and seeks God's forgiveness, who shall we ever be able to identify with?Please feel free to share your thoughts.
